Malachi began his career in the heating and air conditioning industry at the young age of 15 when he began working part-time for the Wenatchee School District. Despite his young age, Malachi demonstrated a proven talent for the HVAC industry. Upon graduation from high school, he enrolled in Wenatchee Valley College’s refrigeration program. Despite a grueling schedule that included full-time HVAC work and a full schedule in Central Washington University’s accounting program, Malachi opened the Salcido Connection in 2001. Malachi holds degrees in Accounting and Finance, and is currently licensed as a CPA. This unique mix of mechanical and financial skills allows Salcido Connection to provide mechanical assessments combined with cash flow and ROI analysis for competing solutions.
