Summary
Began at PI as an apprentice and within a year my mentor moved on, so I was able to fast track into a lead A/V Tech role. Despite requesting yet never receiving formal training (Control4, NMEA, ABYC, etc) I proved time and again I just solve problems for my clients. Designed various networks and means of integrating additions and replacements into existing networks. Have been commended by multiple clients on my ability to quickly identify problems and give a fair and honest assessment on the next steps and the associated estimates.
