When Air & Energy moved into its new headquarters in downtown Bradenton in September 2015, “it was almost like a coming out for us,” says Stewart Moon Jr., the company's vice president.

“We were kind of always looked at as an underdog company, that 'small company out on the island,'” adds Moon.

The Moon family had run the air-conditioning, plumbing and electrical service firm on Anna Maria Island since the early 1990s. Over the years, they'd steadily grown the business from about a handful of employees to around 45 today.
