Summary
Started lInework In AprIl of 2021, I ImmedIately enjoyed the trade. Worked dIstribution for 2 and half years, during that time i most enjoyed storm work and learning more about live line practices. i then switched over to transmission and was apart of some very interesting projects that gave me the unique experiences. I believe having knowledge in both transmission and distribution make me a well rounded employee, that and being a highly motivated individual looking for new and exciting experiences.
