About

Not a job I can't do or figure out.

I'm a licensed 309A Electrician and Fire & Life Safety Systems Coordinator. Over 14 years with a GTA electrical company, I went from apprentice to foreman/supervisor, worked on 60+ major projects across Ontario and designed 50+ fire alarm systems. When something needs doing and people want it done right, I'm the one they call.

Beyond the electrical trade, I take on renovations and repairs, build computers, design apps, solve tech headaches and coach riders on the motorcycle range.

My approach is the same every time: understand the problem, plan it properly, do quality work and see it through to the finish.
