Executive Vice President

Ron Brittain is a lifelong Texan who was raised in Spring Texas. Upon graduating high school Ron attended Sam Houston State University where he earned his Bachelor of Business Administration degree. Early in his business career he excelled in Business Development and won numerous awards and recognitions but more importantly he developed lifelong relationships with his clients.

It was not until 2010 when Ron realized what his true passion in business was and that was building a business from the ground up after being successful in a start- up venture. It was 2016 when Ron was able to team up with Russell Griffin as an equity partner who had recently acquired Air Performance Service of Houston, LLC which at that time was a reputable small HVAC business. Immediately after joining the company was restructured and new business lines were added to complement the existing business for our clients. Under Ron’s leadership, business development strategy, vision and experience, the company experienced unprecedented growth. APS Building Services, Inc. was recognized as one of the fastest growing businesses in 2019 by Inc 5000. These successes in Houston have allowed APS Holdings to reinvest in our team members and make business acquisitions. In 2020, APS Holdings acquired the (3) North Texas offices of Air Performance Service, Inc. (Dallas, Fort Worth and Longview) who are now part of the APS Building Services, Inc. Family.

Rons serves APS Building Services, Inc. as Executive Senior Vice President and Managing Partner. In this position, Ron is responsible for the company’s daily operations and implementing strategies to increase value to our clients and the APS Business’s as well as to continue to identify top talent and develop leaders within the company to be able to sustain the growth the company continues to achieve.
