I am a licensed Washington EL01 Journeymen Electrician, with new installations, remodeling, and maintenance skills in residential commercial and industrial electrical installations. I have a full understanding of the NEC and I am studying to get my administrator license. I am frequently asked to lead small groups of one to five people. I am good at finding or avoiding electrical problems before they happen. I understand proper load distribution, and that understanding volts will make it run, but understanding amps will keep it safe and working. I enjoy doing repair, trouble shooting, and fixing the impossible! I have a strong mechanical aptitude in what I call the Electrical and Mechanical Arts, with a do what it takes to get it done and done right attitude. I can read and understand blue prints, electrical schematics, and ladder diagrams. I have worked with 12V 24V and 48V DC systems and [] single phase, [] [] three phase, and some [] systems.
