Summary
I have 25 years in this industry with a strong desire to succeed and excel in my work performance; not just for myself, but the men under my command. I try to learn things as quick as I can. If I do not know how to do something, or do not have the answer for something, I am not afraid to admit it and ask for help. I strive daily to learn new things and am always up for improving myself, as well as my crew. I consider myself hard working, dependable, and a responsible member of any team that I work for. Being a Foreman and being responsible for the lives of my crew is one of the main reasons I take my role as their leader and the safety of their lives seriously. I enjoy teaching my crew the knowledge that I have learned over the years and will still continue to learn over the years to come.
Electrical professional with strong leadership skills and focus on achieving results. Adept at managing large teams, ensuring safety compliance, and optimizing project timelines.

Crew Foreman/Lineman/Apprentice/Groundman
Sumter Utilities
07.2001 - 02.2011
- I started my line work career here, where I did all ground work, cleaned and stocked all the trucks, hand dug pole, anchor holes, and helped with pole framing
- After my first year I started climbing and doing de-energized secondary work
- Once the material for the pole was made up and ready, there was not much left for the foreman to do
- After that work was done, I would come down, pickup all trash and clean up job site
- My second year I was allowed to start running a bucket on de-energized lines and equipment, also when doing storm restoration
- By this time I was already setting and running the digger truck (setting poles and equipment, loading and unloading material)
- I continued learning and progressing until I was in a bucket full time, became an A class Lineman and the lead on the crew
- After about 8-9 years I was given the opportunity to run my own crew
- To this day I am still learning and enjoy passing down to fellow brothers what knowledge I have and continue to obtain on new forms of technology, that help make job sites run efficiently
