What was the most interesting or unusual job you had before working at Price Electric?
I was in the military as Fire Directions Support in artillery. I’d tell the big guns, tanks, and cannons where to aim, what kind of projectile to use and what rounds to use.
What has been your favorite project at Price Electric so far and why?
My favorite project at Price so far has been the Clarinda Wastewater Treatment Plant Project. I probably learned more on that job than I did my first year of my apprenticeship, due to not having much industrial experience. Working in industrial showed me a different side of electrical. I worked on bigger things like generators, VFD’s, motor control centers, and rigid conduit. In addition, the people employed with Price Electric are awesome and are a pleasure to work with.
What is on your bucket list?
I’d like to build my own house from the ground up.
What is your favorite meal?
I’m not too picky, a good cut of steak or some good sushi.
