YOUR A/C REPAIRMAN IS HOT

DESPITE THE STUNNING BENTLEY HIBERNATING in one of the garage spaces attached to his home—lovingly
dubbed Chateau de Fleurs, or castle of flowers for his wife Lori’s passion for horticulture—Mike Lang is a blue
collar, salt-of-the-earth kind of guy. Actually, he’s more of a sand-of-the-earth type, considering the subtle and
charming khaki hue of his Continental GT convertible.

As far back as the age of 12, Mike was racing motocross bikes, fiddling with engines, and tagging along with his
father to appointments fixing washers, dryers, and other appliances throughout northern New Jersey. One of
his first visits brought them to the home of none other than Rudolph Isley, of the beloved family music group
bearing his surname. A one hundred dollar tip to both Mike and his dad suggested that a lifetime of good old
fashioned elbow grease might not be too bad. As his brother and sister left for college, Mike—an admittedly
mediocre student—headed to trade school. Following his old man’s advice, he focused on air conditioning repair.
