Summary

I've been an Electrician for almost 20 years, I've been specializing in Fire Alarm for about 15 years. Although I'm only factory certified with a couple systems, I have plenty of experience working with just about every type of system out there. I've worked in just about every sector of the trade, whether it's service, retro fitting systems, new construction, providing tech support to customers over the phone, you name it. While I believe I'm a very experienced veteran working with Fire Alarms (and the electrical industry in general), I know there is always more that can be learned, and I'm eager to do it.
