Summary
I am a journeymen electrician in both Washington and Oregon. I started in the trade just out of high school, and steadily rose through the ranks. I always had a desire and passion to lear estimating. I took on an estimation role several years ago, and have moved up to manage the operations of a mid sized electrical company. I have implemented estimating software and take off techniques that have resulted in maintaining $20-40M in revenue yearly. I have a strong desire to be part of a growing company, and to help lead the charge in operations to be successful.
