Summary

I have been in the trade for over 20 years. I have experience in almost every facet of the electrical trade. Ive installed major jobs, minor jobs. From start to finish, and also updates. I have tremendous experience in lighting for residential, commercial and industrial settings. I have worked all over the country in multiple plants installing lighting and other electrical components and equipment. I am looking to move into more of an outside sales position, versus installation and the physical parts of the job. I do hold a Journeyman Wireman ticket out of IBEW Local 760 in Knoxville.
