Meet the Owners
Andreina Leal-Carrillo – CEO and Co-Founder
Andreina Leal-Carrillo’s story is one of resilience, passion, and breaking barriers. Born in Oakland to immigrant parents, Andreina grew up in a household that valued hard work and perseverance. Her father, an HVAC and appliance business owner, taught her the ins and outs of running a company from a young age. As a child, she became his translator, bookkeeper, and problem solver, learning the value of integrity and dedication in every task.
But Andreina’s dreams went beyond the family business. Fueled by her passion for creating opportunities and building something of her own, she pursued a career in marketing and business development, combining her natural leadership skills with her entrepreneurial spirit. Along the way, she met her match – someone who shared her love for family, community, and a commitment to making a difference.
As a mother to a child with special needs, Andreina’s drive comes from her deep love for her family and her desire to create a world where every individual has opportunities to thrive. Her involvement in her community, from serving on the board of a nonprofit to advocating for the special needs community, reflects her belief in giving back. Today, as the CEO of The Repair Tech, Andreina combines her professional expertise and personal values to lead the company with transparency, compassion, and a relentless dedication to exceeding expectations.
Emmanuel Carrillo – Co-Founder
A San Diego native, Emmanuel Carrillo is the heart and soul of The Repair Tech’s operations. Raised by hardworking immigrant parents, Emmanuel grew up immersed in his father’s handyman business. He spent weekends alongside his dad and brothers, learning the value of craftsmanship, the pride of a job well done, and the importance of serving the community.
Emmanuel’s passion for the trades eventually led him to pursue a degree in architecture, but life had other plans. When he met Andreina in high school, everything changed. She introduced him to the world of HVAC and appliances through her father’s business, and a new passion was sparked. With her encouragement and his natural talent for construction and problem-solving, Emmanuel found his place in the industry.
Outside of work, Emmanuel is a devoted husband and father who thrives on adventure and family time. Whether he’s riding buggies in the sand dunes or supporting his children’s passions, Emmanuel brings the same dedication and energy to his personal life as he does to his work. Though a San Diego native, his loyalty lies with the Raiders – a trait that makes him all the more unique.
A Love Story Built on Shared Values and Dreams
Andreina and Emmanuel’s story is one of partnership, perseverance, and building something bigger than themselves. Their journey began in high school, where their shared love for family and work ethic brought them together. As they fell in love, Andreina introduced Emmanuel to her family’s HVAC and appliance business. Working side by side under her father’s mentorship, they discovered a shared passion for the trade – one that would become the foundation of their future.
Shortly after high school, Andreina and Emmanuel married and started their family. With a desire to build their own legacy, they branched off from Andreina’s father’s business to create The Repair Tech. It was more than a business venture – it was the culmination of their shared dreams and values. Andreina brought her marketing and business expertise, while Emmanuel contributed his technical skills and hands-on experience. Together, they turned The Repair Tech into a company rooted in integrity, quality, and community.
Their love story isn’t just about romance – it’s about partnership. It’s about two people who believed in each other’s dreams and worked tirelessly to make them a reality. Today, The Repair Tech stands as a testament to their dedication, love, and unwavering commitment to excellence.
Full Circle
Andreina and Emmanuel’s journey is proof that love, hard work, and shared values can create something extraordinary. From their early days working under Andreina’s father to building a business that reflects their own vision, they’ve come full circle. Their story isn’t just about The Repair Tech – it’s about family, community, and the legacy they’re building together.
Reading their story, you can’t help but want to know more – about the business they’ve built, the lives they’ve touched, and the journey that brought them here. The Repair Tech isn’t just a service provider; it’s the embodiment of a dream, a love story, and a commitment to making a difference.
Meet the Team
Joe A. Winn III
HVAC & Appliance Technician
Joe’s path into the trades started in an unexpected place: restaurant kitchens. While working in food service, he found himself constantly chatting with the HVAC and appliance techs who came in for repairs — fascinated by how these systems worked and inspired by the idea of a hands-on career outside the kitchen. That curiosity eventually became his calling.
At The Repair Tech, Joe loves the family-style atmosphere where everyone genuinely supports one another. Whether it’s troubleshooting a tricky system or navigating the ever-evolving world of HVAC and appliances, he appreciates being part of a team where accountability, learning, and growth are the norm.
With a diverse background across multiple industries, Joe brings a unique perspective to how people use (and sometimes misuse!) their appliances and home systems. His goal is always the same: to help wherever he can and bring calm, solutions, and clarity to situations that feel overwhelming for customers.
Outside of work, Joe is all about Pokémon Go adventures, watching sports, and hunting down new vegan spots around town. A proud Aquarius from the South, he’s big on continuous learning and doing meaningful work that reflects positively on himself and the company.
His best advice for homeowners?
“Change those air filters.”
(And he means it.)
Isabel Pabloff
Business Development Representative & Community Outreach Coordinator
Isabel joined The Repair Tech in early 2025, bringing her passion for people, partnership-building, and community connection into the world of HVAC and appliances. What drew her to this industry—and to The Repair Tech specifically—was our commitment to transparency, honesty, and genuine customer care. For her, representing a company with real heart made the decision easy.
Isabel thrives in environments where collaboration matters, and that’s exactly what she loves most about The Repair Tech. She’s part of a team that values integrity, professionalism, and doing things the right way, every time. Whether she’s connecting with homeowners, partnering with local chambers, or representing the company at community events, she brings warmth, structure, and a thoughtful, organized presence.
One of Isabel’s greatest strengths is relationship-building. She has a natural ability to connect with customers, referral partners, and organizations in a way that feels genuine and lasting. She’s detail-oriented, highly organized, and skilled at creating systems that strengthen our processes. Through strategic outreach, events, and networking, she plays a key role in helping The Repair Tech grow with intention.
Outside of work, Isabel loves exploring the world around her—whether that’s spending time with family, attending local events, or enjoying the outdoors. Hiking, kayaking, and archery are some of her favorite ways to recharge. She also has a creative side and loves arts and crafts that let her unwind and express herself.
Her top advice for homeowners?
“Don’t ignore small issues. Little problems turn into big ones when you let them.”
A fun fact customers might not know: Isabel is deeply passionate about community involvement. Chamber mixers, ribbon cuttings, networking events — she’s in her element wherever genuine connection and collaboration are happening.
What motivates her most is knowing that customers feel supported and valued. Being part of a team that feels like family inspires her to give her best every day.
Her personal motto says it all:
“Success is built on consistency, connection, and care.”
No matter where she goes or who she’s helping, Isabel shows up with intention — making a positive and lasting impact throughout the community we proudly serve.
Ana Cardenas
Scheduling, Dispatching, Parts Ordering & Administrative Support
Ana is one of the powerhouse multitaskers behind the scenes at The Repair Tech. With over five years of experience in the construction industry and two years in HVAC, she brings a strong foundation, genuine curiosity, and a passion for the trades to everything she does. Learning new skills comes naturally to her, and that eagerness to grow is one of the many reasons she’s such a valued part of our team.
At The Repair Tech, Ana’s days involve coordinating schedules, dispatching technicians, ordering parts, and making sure the office runs smoothly. Her favorite part of the job? The friendly, supportive environment. She loves being part of a workplace where everyone helps each other, works as a team, and keeps the day feeling anything but boring. To Ana, the camaraderie here truly feels like family.
One of her biggest strengths is being cross-trained across the office. She’s quick to learn, quick to adapt, and always ready to streamline a process or jump in wherever she’s needed. Her ability to handle tasks independently keeps things moving efficiently and ensures our technicians—and customers—are always supported.
Outside of work, Ana’s world is full and vibrant. She’s a proud mom of six amazing kids and a college student studying criminal justice. Between family, school, and work, she’s basically a professional multitasking champion.
Her advice for homeowners?
“Don’t wait for your HVAC or appliances to break down before calling for service. Regular maintenance saves you time, stress, and money.”
A fun fact: Ana’s daily juggling act has turned her into a true pro at staying organized and on her toes—something her team appreciates just as much as her kids do.
What motivates her most is the environment she works in. She’s grateful for leaders who foster positivity, teamwork, and trust, and she believes strong management is the reason everyone shows up ready to do their best.
Her personal motto reflects her spirit perfectly:
“Make every day count. You only live once, so learn from your mistakes and always be ready to try again.”
Whether she’s supporting customers, coordinating the team, or keeping the office running smoothly, Ana brings heart, dedication, and pride to every part of her work.
Armando Mendoza
Appliance Technician (Expanding into HVAC)
Armando has been working with appliances for seven years and has become one of The Repair Tech’s most detail-oriented and dependable technicians. He started in the trade at just seventeen years old, and over time he’s developed a strong foundation in diagnostics, repairs, and customer communication. His talent for reading schematics and explaining repairs in a clear, approachable way makes him a favorite among customers and teammates alike.
Since his original submission in early 2022, Armando has continued to level up — now actively training in HVAC and proudly earning his EPA certification (with The Repair Tech cheering him on every step of the way!). His commitment to growth is one of the many reasons he’s such a valuable part of our team.
What Armando loves most about working at The Repair Tech is the supportive, family-oriented environment. He appreciates being part of a team that cares deeply about doing things right, helping customers feel taken care of, and pushing each other to improve every day.
When he’s not in the field, Armando spends his free time doing what he does best — learning. His passion for expanding his skills and mastering his trade is what fuels his career growth and keeps him ahead in an ever-evolving industry.
His best advice for homeowners?
“Regular maintenance extends the life of your appliances, improves efficiency, and prevents costly repairs.”
He believes maintenance isn’t just about saving money — it’s about keeping your home or business running smoothly and safely.
What motivates him most is the satisfaction of solving problems and helping others. Seeing the relief on a customer’s face when an appliance is back up and running — or when a system is working the way it should — is what keeps him showing up with pride every single day.
Armando continues to grow, learn, and take on new challenges, and The Repair Tech is proud to support him as he expands into HVAC and pushes his career forward.
Jacob Smith
HVAC & Appliance Technician
Jacob has been in the HVAC and appliance industry for over four years, steadily growing into one of The Repair Tech’s most reliable technicians. His journey into the trades began after serving in the U.S. Marine Corps, where he specialized as an electrician — a foundation that makes him exceptionally skilled at diagnostics, troubleshooting, and understanding the inner workings of complex systems.
What originally inspired Jacob to pursue this field still holds true today: he loves hands-on work, solving problems, and helping people feel safe, comfortable, and confident in their homes. And at The Repair Tech, he found a team that cares just as deeply about customers as he does.
Jacob’s favorite part of working here is the supportive environment. He values being surrounded by teammates who work hard, communicate well, and always put the customer first. His friendly personality and strong teamwork skills make him a natural leader — someone clients trust and coworkers rely on.
Outside of work, Jacob is all about family. His free time is dedicated to his wife and children, who motivate him every day to keep learning, growing, and doing work he’s proud of.
His best advice for homeowners?
“Replace your HVAC filters every six months — and if you have pets, make that every three.”
It’s simple, but it saves money, improves efficiency, and keeps systems running the way they should.
A fun fact many customers don’t know is that during his time in the military, Jacob’s specialty was electrical work — a skillset that continues to influence his precision and attention to detail today.
What motivates him most is being able to give customers peace of mind. Knowing that a system will run safely and reliably after he leaves is what drives him to do his best work every day.
His personal motto:
“Hope for the best, but expect the worst.”
A reminder to always be prepared, stay steady, and show up with integrity.
Jacob served proudly in the U.S. Marine Corps, and he brings that same discipline, care, and commitment to every job he completes with The Repair Tech.
Rosa Sanchez
Scheduling / Customer Support
Rosa is one of the friendly voices customers hear when they call The Repair Tech, and she brings a calm, welcoming energy to every interaction. While the HVAC and appliance world is still new to her, she grew up surrounded by family members who work in the construction trades — so stepping into this field already felt familiar, comfortable, and exciting.
Her favorite part about working at The Repair Tech is the fun, supportive environment. The communication, teamwork, and family-like atmosphere make every day feel connected and meaningful. Whether she’s helping a customer book an appointment or assisting the team behind the scenes, Rosa always shows up with a positive attitude and a willingness to help wherever she’s needed.
Rosa’s strengths shine through in the way she works with others. She’s easygoing, takes direction well, and adapts quickly — making her a valuable part of our office team. She cares deeply about making customers feel supported, informed, and heard.
Outside of work, Rosa loves relaxing at home with video games or spending time with the people who matter most to her. And here’s a fun fact: she loves driving stick shift — because why not make errands just a little more fun?
Her best advice for customers?
“Call for service as soon as something feels off. Small issues are easier — and cheaper — to fix before they turn into big problems.”
What motivates Rosa each day is the opportunity to learn something new. Every call, every situation, and every customer interaction gives her a fresh chance to grow her skills.
Rosa lives by the motto:
“Every setback is a setup for a comeback.”
And if there’s one thing she wants customers to know, it’s this:
If she doesn’t have the answer yet, she’ll always find it.
