Summary
I am a Journeyman Lineman with experience in maintenance, construction and troubleshooting of overhead and underground distribution lines, construction and maintenance of transmission lines and switching both distribution and transmission voltages. My service with the United States Navy afforded me the ability to excel in stressful and challenging situations. I have worked with training apprentices and enjoy teaching others. Safety and attention to detail is paramount to everything I do. I strive to think through a job, consider all outcomes and perform the task in the safest way.
