FAQs
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I attended SUNY Delhi for a two year program in 2002 for Electrical Construction and Instrumentation. The second year I took PLC and motor controls as well as Photovoltaic classes. I graduated with an Associate in Applied Science. Shortly after graduation I worked in the field with numerous electrical contractors across NYC, Nassau and Suffolk counties in NY. Soon after I was accepted into Local Union 3 apprenticeship program which is a 5 1/2 year program. After completion of the apprenticeship I graduated from Empire State College with another 2 year degree in Associate in Applied Science in labor studies.
- How did you get started doing this type of work?
I am a third generation electrician in my family. My grandfather was an electrician , as well as my Uncle and now me. I’m so proud to carry the tradition and name throughout my career. I started by watching and helping my Uncle and his partner who showed me from an early age of 6 or 7 about the trade. I was fascinated with the trade and how my Uncle got it to work and the rest was history.
