I started out in '86 being an Electrician's apprentice. After my 4 years of apprenticeship was over I got my journeyman's card and started going out on jobs with an apprentice of my own.
I've had some hard times in the past, like in 2001. When we had no work coming in. But this last one. (started in 2006 for us) When I had to make my house payment with a credit card, that's when I had to try something else.
Talking with one of my customers (
http://camco.net/) about my situation, they offered me a job. I thought there's no way I could stay in one place and be happy, let alone the fact I would work myself out of a job in a few years.
Never did I think after 6 years I would still have a job and be so happy. Now I have 2 other Electricians working for me as well as overseeing electrical projects in our other plants.
I am truly blessed.
