Summary
Hello, my name is Russ Thompson. I'm an electrician from California, though most of my career has been spent traveling across different states and cities for work. I began my career in 2018 in a factory after completing electrical school, and my most recent role was in Hawaii, where I lived for over a year while overseeing a major lighting project and a plumbing project on the island of Oahu.
