Summary

Electrical Journeyman with over 13 years of experience in hands-on, client-focused roles. Recognized for strong attention to detail, safety, problem-solving, and communication—skills directly applicable to building trust and managing risk in the electrical industry. I take pride in all the work that I perform, and I deeply care about customer satisfaction.

I’ve decided to pursue a career change due to a lack of growth opportunities and leadership that encourages development in my current role. I’m committed to bettering myself both personally and professionally, and I’m seeking an environment where I’m challenged to grow, supported by leadership that actively invests in its people. Additionally, providing greater financial stability and opportunities for my family. I’m drawn to roles where there is no cap on earning potential, and performance is truly rewarded.
