The Story Of The Boer Brothers
The Boer Brothers grew up in Chapel Hill riding skateboards and BMX bikes down Franklin st with a certain careless abandon (townies are the worst!). Bryan was bravest and most skilled, Jeff most exuberant and David, well… he could ride. Three more different brothers you might never meet. But each brings something to Boer Brothers the others lack. After high school graduation they took divergent paths. Graduation night Bryan moved to Wilmington for culinary school, David had already left on his winding academic path racking up papers from UNC-G, UNC- Chapel Hill, University of California, University of Colorado, NC State and Duke. He then traveled and worked overseas in Poland teaching English. Jeff soon left home to pursue a business degree at UNC-G and a career out in Arizona.
Bryan dove into the burgeoning restaurant scene out in Colorado and here in Chapel Hill, honing his craft and developing his defining work values of connection with customers, making it right and professional pride and excellence. Soon though, the late night rigors of the restaurant business began to tell on Bryan and he sought a change. He found solace and comfort in restaurant repair service and HVAC, he found his real calling. He called Jeff and asked him to come home. Bryan and Jeff apprenticed and pursued HVAC degrees and worked for almost a decade before striking out on their own in 2007, opening Boer Brothers Heating and Cooling. David joined a bit later on the business side. Many of those relationships from the early days still comprise the core of our business. It has been an adventure and allowed our brotherhood to grow, challenged each of us and given us a playground to develop as leaders, brothers and community members.
