Work Experience:

With eight years of experience as a Veteran in the Naval Mobile Construction Battalion (Seabees), 20+ years as a journeyman electrician, and a proven track record as an Electrical Service Manager, I bring a unique combination of military discipline, leadership, and in-depth expertise in residential, commercial, and industrial electrical services.

In my most recent role as a Service Electrical Service Manager at Precision Tech Home Services, I led a team of six journeymen electricians, managed project scheduling and inventory, and played a key role in sales initiatives including bidding and on-site estimations. Prior roles have further honed my capabilities—from managing and trouble shooting high-value projects at Guarantee Services and overseeing residential and light commercial projects at Van Uiter Electric LLC, to maintaining critical electrical systems at LaGuardia Airport with the Port Authority.
My certifications as a Construction Electrician (Class A) and Advanced Construction Electrician (Class C) further reinforce my technical proficiency and commitment to continuous professional development.
I would welcome the opportunity to contribute a team and help drive the company’s continued success in delivering high-quality electrical solutions.
