Tom is responsible for the entirety of the Los Angeles Office along with leading the Low Voltage team (IT, Security and AV). Tom has been with AMA Group since inception, for 23 years, working the last 10 years in Los Angeles. He brings an extraordinary degree of consistency to the organization as we continue to expand into new services and geographies. 

Christopher Carson, Managing Principal

Chris has spent his entire 16-year professional career with AMA Group, with the past 9 years in Los Angeles leading the HVAC team along with cultivating a loyal following of media and broadcast clients such as NBCUniversal, Netflix, SONY, Echelon and Disney. Chris has worked on almost all of the large technical projects completed this past decade. Chris grew up in the HVAC business, with his father having been an HVAC operations engineer for NBCUniversal at Rockefeller Center.  

Gilad Nahari, Managing Principal

Gilad has 20+ years of experience in the design business, having spent the past 14 in Los Angeles.  Before joining AMA at the start of 2022, he operated his own boutique engineering firm, providing him with experience that has allowed him to quickly impact AMA’s operations. Gilad has a loyal client and architect following and he brings a strong residential and mixed-use portfolio to the firm, all of which complements his HVAC-centric background. Gilad literally grew up working in the family 50+ person MEP business in Israel providing a strong understanding of the built environment.   

Jacob Chan, Managing Principal

Jacob’s engineering career has spanned 30+ years in Los Angeles. As one of the leading Electrical Engineers in the region, he has spent meaningful periods of time with ARUP, Glumac and Buro Happold working on some of the largest and most complex hotel, entertainment, transportation and mission critical projects in the region.

If Matt is not working, he can most likely be found hiking on a long mountain trail.

A.J. Vergari, Principal

AJ has 20 years in the design business, the last 9 years with AMA in Los Angeles.  His strong HVAC background and LEED accreditation has allowed him to serve as both lead mechanical engineer and project manager on projects in the commercial, corporate, residential, institutional and mixed-use sectors.  Multiple projects with clients such as Warner Music, Signature Bank, Netflix and UCLA Health are just some of AJ’s accomplishments. When he is not working, AJ may be found balancing work and life with a long run.
