Additional Information

I have a lot of experience with conduit, dimming panels, electrical panels, commercial, residential, and some industrial. I am 63 but still in good physical condition. The best fit for me is to be a right-hand man that is supportive and dependable. I'm not as fast as I once was but when projects require superior quality, I am better than ever. For the last 11 years I have mostly worked in high end residential custom homes where precision work and customer satisfaction was always paramount. I can lay out and install lighting and other devices with a high degree of precision. I am creative, punctual, polite, honest, supportive of my team, safety conscious, and have a good work ethic.
