Electrical At D. W. Close I worked as an electrician. Beginning
Experience: as an apprentice electrician I learned the electrical trade, and later supervised electrical installations. While working I attended Edison Technical School at night and studied theory, code & motor controls. As a journeyman and foreman I coordinated the installation of equipment with buildings owners, other building trades and fellow workers.
At Westinghouse, Ward Leonard and Electrical South I had account development responsibility. This involved multi state product presentation, project quotation, installation coordination and technical assistance.
At Eaton Bussmann Business I focus more closely on the codes and standards with-in the states of WA, AK, OR, ID, MT, NV, WY & UT. In the last 27 years I have conducted hundreds of seminars and training to distributors, inspectors, engineers, contractors, electricians and end users on NEC compliance and over-current protection. I am certified as a CEU provider in WA, OR, ID, MT & UT.
I posses Washington State; Professional Engineer Licenses, Master Electrician and Journeyman Electrician Certificates.
