Just after graduating from High School up north I came to Florida on spring break. I was standing on one of the Sanibel Island beaches  the last day of our trip when I decided to stay in Florida and not return back home with my friends. Having to start a new life from scratch, I found an apartment and answered a newspaper ad entitled “Want to learn to be an Electrician?” I thought it was a school but it turned out to be an electrical contractor. I needed a job and it sounded cool enough so I went in for an interview. They offered me next to nothing but that was better than nothing, so I took the job. Let's jump a few decades ahead, where  I found myself working as a master electrician for a global engineering company traveling the middle east. No doubt, the most challenging and rewarding job of my life. Now comes  covid and the end of that job. I had been gone so long I had no residence or even a car here in the United States. It was time to completely start over. Well, I don't know how it happened but here I am in Palm Coast. Now what?. There has to be something more than just getting a job even though I still need to work. And there it was. Start my own business and become a mentor to young people who are looking for something other than college. This can be more than just a job, it's a future for anyone who wants to join me. I believe in giving back to the community; being a Master Electrician, I give of my time to young men and women who would like to know more about the trade, have a desire to learn and become licensed Electricians and make a successful future for themselves.
