Summary

I am expressing my interest as an apprentice electrician to find a lasting career and further my knowledge to eventually become a masters electrician. I currently have my Texas apprenticeship license from the TDLR, and I will be attending the IECSA electrical apprenticeship program in September. I look forward to becoming sponsored so I can complete my 8000hrs of on the job training.

I better perform in an environment where there is opportunity to learn and grow, and I am a quick hands on learner. I come to work in a timely manner and with a ready to work attitude. At my current job I am best known for my efficiency and my friendly attitude to my coworkers and customers
