Summary
After spending nearly a year and a half, and 3,300 working hours as an apprentice I know that I love this trade and have a true passion for it. I have spent time on a fault crew, locating and splicing underground primary, and secondary faults. I spent 8 months on an overhead distribution crew doing pole change-outs and hardening equipment to updated wildfire specifications on Excel property. I still have so much to learn and that is what excites me the most. Being a lineman is the best Job in the world and I wont stop till I get that ticket.
