Summary
At 46 years old with over 26 years working the electrical trade I have collected a well rounded set of skills with strong work ethic, an eye for details and a positive attitude. I have worked on a broad range of projects including schools, water plants, super computer power systems, medium voltage installations, LVC cable replacement and many more as an apprentice, a Journeyman Inside Wireman, Splicer, and Foreman in interesting facilities like NASA Moffet Field, SFO, Lawrence Labs at Berkeley and now as a High Voltage Electrician at UC Berkeley performing maintenance for almost 7 years.
I am proficient in many roles, work well with others and try to contribute to a safe, supportive work climate with solid communication skills. At UC Berkeley I have enjoyed building relationships with team members in other trades, building managers, regional managers and capital projects staff to be as productive as possible in a team environment and believe I am strong candidate for any campus looking to add a positive member to their staff.
