Summary
I am a 21 year old kid, that got into the electrical field not for money, or boredom, but because it fascinates me. When starting my schooling at ICC my courses have done nothing but intrigue me and my interests in electricity and continues to make me want to learn more. I am a hard working kid that wants a strong solid career in the electrical field no matter if I am doing Residential, Commercial, or Industrial. I love the troubleshooting aspect of it, even if sometimes I might need help figuring out the issue. I am an eager kid ready to learn as much as I can.
