I started at Summit Electric doing many of the same tasks I had at my time at Redd Electric. I think I acquired a much better understanding of the NEC working here. I also learned more about overcurrent protection devices and how to wire a panel, or replace breakers as needed, as the jobs I was on progressed.

My first job as an electrical apprentice was at Redd Electric in Almont, Michigan. I started out learning the basics of running metal conduit, pulling wire, and using basic hand tools and power tools to get my tasks accomplished.

I started working at Ace Hardware in Utica, Michigan, after graduating from high school in 2017. I worked as a sales associate until 2022, when I was given more managerial responsibilities, such as ensuring that the store was closed properly and that all of our daily tasks were completed.
