Dan Gentry
Dan Gentry is an Applications Engineer at Trane. He joined the Trane team in 2018 after honing his skills for eight years at another local Wisconsin-based chiller manufacturer. But Dan's journey with Trane actually began much earlier—he first interned in the Technology Lab, working in the acoustic lab while attending school through 2008.
Dan's expertise is as cool as the systems he designs, focusing on chiller plants, heat recovery, and heat pump systems. He's all about making these systems reliable and efficient, ensuring they run smoothly and sustainably. A proud graduate of Ferris State University, Dan earned his bachelor’s degree in HVAC Engineering Technology in 2011 and is an active member of ASHRAE.
Dan is based in La Crosse, but in his free time can be found enjoying quality time with the family floating along the Mississippi River, or unwinding at their cozy cabin in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan.
