About
I'm a journeyman electrician who's spent over a decade in the field — from pulling wire as an apprentice to running crews on commercial high-voltage installations. But what's stuck with me most from that time isn't the technical work. It's the people.
I've trained apprentices who became solid journeymen. I've worked alongside foremen who made you want to show up every day — and ones who made you want to quit. That experience gave me a real education in what separates a great hire from a costly one, and what kind of culture makes skilled tradespeople stay.
When I moved into counter sales at City Electric Supply, I discovered something I already suspected: I love building relationships. I spent my days helping contractors solve problems, find better solutions, and feel like someone actually had their back. That's the same thing great recruiting does — it connects people to the right opportunity and builds trust on both sides of the equation.
Culture matters in this industry more than people realize. Trades workers are loyal — but only to the people and companies that earn it. I speak their language. I know what questions to ask a hiring manager to figure out if a job site is actually a good fit, and I know how to have an honest conversation with a tradesperson about what they really need in their next move.
I'm not learning the trades. I'm bringing the trades with me — and I'm ready to use that to help companies hire better and grow faster.
