Summary
After having experience in the tool and die manufacturing industry I wanted a change of pace that sent me to different jobsite locations. This is why I became an electrician. The elevator industry seems like a good fit as I have a strong mechanical background and the last 4 years I have gotten electrical experience in the commercial construction industry. I look forward to learning more about the elevator trade.
