Summary

My career experience has led me to become a competent trouble shooting electrician. I am comfortable in high pace and high demand environments. I have built, maintained and retrofitted high voltage substations, both indoor and out, and have done the same for pole lines. I have successfully transitioned to high rise work the past 2+ years and have acquired a lot of knowledge in distribution, building systems and 600v installations. I am able to work independently and pride myself on my abilities to "figure things out".
