I recently passed my WV Journeyman's test with a 94. I expect to get my license when the 2nd semester ends at the Marion County Tech Center where I am taking the 1st and 2nd year Electrical Technology courses.

I have a BS in Computer Science from West Virginia University and have embarked on being an electrician after a thirty year career as a systems software engineer and operating system architect.

Other than the courses at the Tech Center, I've had no formal training in electricity. My father was an engineer at Monongahela Power Company (now doing business as Allegheny Power) from shortly after WW II to his retirement. He taught me a great deal.

Update: I just won the WV SkillsAmerica Motor Control contest in the post secondary division. This means my instructor Tim Gump and I will be going to the nationals. I'm very happy about pleasing him.

I'm assuming these were running concurrently.

Jack of all trades, master of none, and love what I do for a living.
