Summary
I like to teach what I know and learn what I don't know. I've spent the past 4 -5 years doing a lot of teaching and right now I would like to focus more on learning advance electrical knowledge. Such as PLCs, solar, high voltage switch gear or industrial settings. I would like to broaden my horizons in the electrical field. Im a very loyal employee that takes little time off and always jumps at the opportunity for overtime. I always build good relations with management, my fellow co workers and customers.
