Objective:
Become a valued member of an organization which has a strong commitment to provide the highest quality of service in
the electrical or solar industry. I would prefer at this stage of my career to find a well established company which will

Summary
I have been in the electrical industry for over 30 years. In 1991 I obtained my Electrical Contractors License, working for
myself doing residential and commercial projects. From 1991 until 2011 I primarily worked for other commercial electrical
contractors in the capacities of electrician, foreman, field superintendent and more recently as an estimator. Since 2011
the majority of my employment has been spent in the role of estimator, whether it be in the electrical or solar field.
Well versed in many areas of commercial electrical installation, including material take-off, lay out, dry utilities, deep
underground, slab on grade, rough in, trim, troubleshooting and lighting control systems.
