Summary
Most of my apprentice lineman career has been spent on New-Mac system with Powerline Consultants. I started out as a ground hand and worked my way up into the bucket. After being with PLC for over two years, I got the opportunity to go work for LineTec on AEP system. I was able to broaden my knowledge and learn new techniques. I was apart of working out three phase junction poles and a few three pot banks. Im committed to working safely, efficiently, and communicating with everyone around me. I have a strong passion for working hard and taking pride in my work.
