Story

I have been an electrician in the industry for 11 years. I am a proud husband and the father of 2 amazing kids. I have a special connection with seniors. Growing up my grandmother was a big part of my life. I was very close to her and we spent a lot of time together. I remember watching her struggle to live on a fixed income, not having a lot of extra money for things that went wrong in her home. These things would often just go unfixed. I feel in great part due to her influence in my life, I am committed to helping seniors. I offer a 10% senior discount off my hourly rate for any service call over 55 years of age.

The military played a large roll in my draw to entrepreneurship. I was thrust into a leadership position very early on in the military and had the privilege of being able to make decisions for myself and others. These decisions had obvious consequences on our work environment. Often as an employee I struggled to see a connection between myself and what happens in a company. Now, like then, I am thrusting myself into a leadership position – my own business. For better or worse, the decisions I make will have a direct impact on my future and the future of my business.

I also began this business to fill what I see as a gap in quality service that is provided in the construction industry. For years I have been going into peoples homes as an electrician and asking them questions about what they expect from an electrical professional. The most common answers have been “to fix the problem“, “someone who will call me back”, “show up on time“, “stick to the price you quoted me”. The underlying theme was often that they wanted someone to do what they say and say what they mean. My professional goal is to offer the best electrical support with unmatched customer service.
