Meet Our Founder

ARIE VERKAIK

Businesses face challenges in finding competent talent to manage their buildings and they are overpaying for equipment and software. I'm on a mission to change that.

Born and raised in a small farming town in Central California, I graduated from Fresno State in 2010 with a degree in mechanical engineering. After starting my career in the petroleum industry, I transitioned to building automation as a project engineer—a move that became a fulfilling career path. With seven years of experience in California, I now continue this journey in the Nashville area with CS3. During my tenure in the industry, I noticed many ways to make buildings run more efficiently a variety of areas – not just in the HVAC space. This inspired me to create building automation technology solutions that are more cost-effective and help maintenance teams run leaner with less personnel, allowing them to focus on what’s important.
