We’re proud to celebrate Doss Howell, who recently reached his 10-year milestone with Interstate! 👏 (Even if this celebration is a overdue!) Doss joined the team on January 25, 2016, and has grown alongside Interstate Mechanical Service every step of the way. Starting as an HVAC apprentice, Doss worked his way into becoming an HVAC technician, then Service Manager, and today serves as the HVAC Director for IMS, overseeing HVAC service operations and logistics.
Doss was one of the original grassroots employees who helped shape IMS into what it is today after becoming its own company apart from IMC. Over the years, he’s helped lead through major transitions, challenges, and changes—and through it all, he’s remained steady, loyal, and fully committed to the Interstate team.
He’s the kind of leader who jumps in when situations get difficult, whether that means helping with challenging customers, supporting his team, or making tough decisions to keep operations moving forward. Doss does a great job balancing what’s best for the customer while also standing behind and supporting his team.
Known for being calm under pressure, innovative, and highly respected by those around him, Doss is constantly looking for ways to improve efficiency, strengthen the team, and help others succeed. He leads with humility, works hard, treats people with respect, and truly embodies what it means to be humble, hungry, and smart.
And the recognition reflects it:
🏆 IMS Leadership Award – 2024 & 2025
🏆 Interstate Mechanical Dream Team – 2024 & 2025
Doss, thank you for 10 years of leadership, loyalty, and commitment to Interstate. IMS is stronger because of you, and we’re proud to have you as a constant along way. 💙
