When did you become an electrician?: 2007
When did you join Local Union #113?: 2008
Why did you want to become an electrician? I was already working in electronics and I was looking for high demand jobs that couldn't be outsource and I already liked electricity so that was just a natural extension of what I was looking for and I knew whatever I was going to do I was going to be union. I stumbled across the IBEW and the rest was history.
