Summary

I am a driven electrical leadman with hands-on experience supervising crews on commercial projects. At 19, I advanced quickly from apprentice to leadman by building a strong foundation in electrical systems, conduit bending, and blueprint interpretation. My goal is to grow into project management, where I can leverage my field expertise while developing a deeper understanding of the planning and execution of electrical projects. Being very passionate about the trade, I stay motivated by learning new skills and striving to deliver successful, efficient projects.
