About Me.
My father was a welder by trade and he grew up around construction. I would frequently tag along with him while he worked around the house or at family and friends. I quickly became interested in anything and everything mechanical in nature, how things work, loved to take things apart and put them back together. I learned to use tools at an early age, my father's tools, many of which would go missing according to my him.
​​
After high school I briefly attended college but eventually decided to join an electrician's apprenticeship program. My father convinced me that if I was not going to stay in college, then I needed to learn a trade. There is a long line of electricians in my family, going back to my great grandfather. I began my career as an apprentice at Corbo Electric Company in San Antonio. I quickly picked up the trade and graduated from the South Texas NJATC apprenticeship program in June of 2004. Before completing the apprenticeship program, I was able to acquire my journeyman license from the city of San Antonio in 2003. Before I graduated from the apprenticeship program, Texas went to the state electrical license. The Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation offered the ability to apply for a license if you already had a municipal license.
​​
I worked for several years in the San Antonio and surrounding areas for Corbo Electric, and then Alterman Electric when they purchased Corbo Electric. I worked my way up from an apprentice to journeyman, eventually foreman and then project foreman. I continued in this position until November of 2014 when I took a job in the oilfield for Weatherford International, a large oilfield service company. I worked at Weatherford for almost eight years. After Weatherford, I briefly worked at AOF Industries, an electrical and oilfield service contractor, before deciding to start my own company.
​
In November of 2023 I made the tough decision to start my own company and work for myself. That way I can focus on the core of what I believe are my strongest skills in the electrical industry. I worked for three years in the service department at Corbo Electric and became very accustomed and knowledgeable at troubleshooting and resolving electrical issues. I have the capability to work on residential, commercial and industrial electrical applications on everything from single family homes to oilfield applications. I look forward to helping you resolve and take care of any electrical needs you may have.
