Yeah, so I started out in the electrical field when I was 13 years old, riding along with my grandfather, helping him with his own business. He worked for Moorfield Telephone Communications. At the time, it's not what I thought I wanted to do. I came home from school one day with a college application and my mom said I was too dumb to go to school. So I'm here.

From there, I went to VoTech, which was a vocational electrical school. I studied electrical occupations. When I graduated there, I went to the apprenticeship program for four years. I'm a certified journeyman in high voltage, low voltage, and pole climbing. And yeah, I worked all over the United States. And it brought me to Mr. Sparky.

Alexia, our old talent acquisition officer, and she had said, hey, we came across your job application on Indeed. I was like, yeah, okay, I didn't put one on Indeed. What company is this for? She had said Mr. Sparky Electric, which basically I laughed when she said that, Mr. Sparky Electric, what the hell kind of name is that, right?

So I hung up on her, went home, talked to my wife, broke the news, told my father-in-law. He said, well, why don't you give it a try? You really don't got anything else. So I went into... An interview, I called her back. I said, okay, I'll come in. I went and did an interview. That's where I met Brian.

Let me tell you, from day one, I walked into the office to Brian and Aaron, and it was the weirdest interview ever. It was fist bumps. It was just like I was talking to some friends. I went through the interview process, which I thought went well. I walk in with a big... A big book, probably four inches thick of all my experience and certifications.

And Brian literally looked at me and was like, hey, I don't think you need any of that. I don't care what you know electrically, which kind of threw me for a loop. But just the overall interaction with Brian and talking, Brian's like, at the end of the interview, I remember Brian said, hey, now I think it's time for a ride along with Jamie.
