My career started with a Christmas present when I was in Third Grade. My folks gave me a Gilbert Fun With Electricity set. There were other science and Erector sets, but I kept coming back to things electrical. I went through college right after high school, worked as an electrical apprentice in the summers to round out the theory of electrical engineering with hands on experience. Tried work as a EE but it didn't take. I've been a contractor for 24 years now. There's a curious mix of types in my family, but I'm the first electrician/EE.
