Our Founder

In 1986, Buff Brown realized that the Coachella Valley did not have a single heating and cooling company that specialized in evaporative cooling or “swamp coolers,” even though these are fairly common in this area. So, beginning from his home, Buff began working with his first truck to service the needs of local individuals and businesses that use evaporative cooling.

In the early days, Buff had to supplement his and his wife Pamela’s income by waiting tables in a local restaurant. In the ensuing decades, Buff worked tirelessly to grow Desert Cooler Specialist into a specialized company that works exclusively on evaporative cooling devices. The level of expertise Buff has gained in the evaporative cooling industry is second to none, as this type of cooling is truly his passion.
