Expertise
I can answer basically any question pertaining to the field of electricity, its applications and daily uses, theory, calculations, how to for residential, commercial, and light industrial. I am an inside wireman, therefore I can't help much with questions to do with linework, such as powerlines and distribution switchyards. I can however, answer some questions that have to do with power generation.
Experience
I have 15 years in the trade and currently I am employed at TVA Cumberland City Fossil Plant where we generate about 10% of the power used in the Southeast. Of those 15 years, I have wired houses, wired many office complexes, banks, hospitals, schools, industrial applications, and can also install fire alarm systems.
