Biography

I have always found the trades to be an interesting field of work and I love working with my hands. A few of my cousins and my uncle were electricians therefore that was always in the back of my mind when I was deciding on my future career. During high school, I took an electrical course and when I graduated from that course I knew I wanted to be an electrician.

I hope to become a journeyman electrician and open up my own electrical company one day.
