About

I’m a proud IBEW Local 134 Journeyman Electrician with a strong foundation in safety (OSHA 30, NFPA 70E, EPA 608) and hands-on experience across commercial and industrial projects. Currently, I’m expanding my expertise into renewable energy—completing my EVITP certification and pursuing additional credentials in solar, storage, and wind to help drive Illinois toward a cleaner, more sustainable future. My goal is to be recognized as a go-to Renewable Energy & Safety Electrician in Local 134 and across the Illinois electrical industry, while continuing to mentor, share knowledge, and eventually transition into teaching the next generation of tradespeople. Strengths: Safety-first mindset, renewable energy integration, electrical construction technology (AAS, high honors), and a commitment to advancing both my own skills and the trade as a whole.
