Expertise

I can answer questions concerning the home wiring system. Other than the power requirements for them, I have no experience in appliance or HVAC repairs. Over the years, I have acquired some working knowledge of this equipment and therefore will do my best in answering any question you might have.

Experience in the area

I am a retired licensed Electrical Contractor and have held an Electrician license for 34 years. I have been a Master Electrician for the last 25 years in various cities throughout Texas. I currently hold a State of Texas Master Electrician license and employed as a Master Electrical Specialist by a home improvement firm.

Education/Credentials

I take annual Continuing Education courses relevant to the electrical industry, Texas Laws and Inspection Program and the National Electrical Code.
