Marine

Corps veteran and 20-year business leader pivoting into the electrical trade with the discipline, work ethic, and technical mindset the field demands. Two decades of running businesses under real pressure — managing budgets, vendors, and teams without missing a deadline — proves an ability to master complex systems fast. Has completed residential construction coursework and understands the build process end-to-end, but is candid about lacking hands-on field experience and is seeking an apprenticeship to learn directly from licensed electricians, earn trust, and grow into a skilled, code-compliant tradesman.
