Meet the Team

My dad was an electrician, so I've lived and breathed electrical work my entire life. I have worked at every station of the trade. Officially beginning in 2007, I completed my apprenticeship in 2011 and left the job I'd held for 4 years for lack of growth opportunities. While working full-time, I taught as an electrical apprentice instructor from 2016-2018. In 2017, I took the exam and passed to get my Master's Electrical License. After climbing the ranks with the 2nd contractor for 11 years, I realized that it was time to start my own legacy. I'd learned a lot about how I would (and wouldn’t) run my own business. I also read and listened to as many books as I could to become a wealth of knowledge and resource. With Young Cardinal, I hope to address some of the inequities that I witnessed in my career.

1. Contractors stand to [grossly] capitalize on extracting all they can from the worker's value. There is a considerable gap between the value of the skilled electrical worker and the wage of the said worker, which I intend to bridge.

2. There was an obvious lack of perspective from upper management in relation to the workforce. I think it is important not to lose touch with the concerns and struggles of your coworkers. Work to Life balance is an essential part of the puzzle.
