I've been a card carrying electrician for 19 years, first 15 with the union.

Was doing alot of bath & kitchen remodels, door & window energy upgrades, and finish carpentry in Cali until this recent downturn.

Now I'm looking for a plant electrician or maintenance job, or what ever decent paying gig comes my way.

30 years in the nuclear feild as of 1-15-09.
Work for Duke Energy here in SC, NC. I'm in maintenance stationed at Oconee Nuclear plant. I started out in pipe fitting then moved to maintenance. Worked the last 27 years in the fuel & head area of it. Now just plain maintenance.
I have worked all over the country for them. I helped shut down Ranco Sayco in Cal. when they decided they didn't need the power anymore. I spent 5 weeks out there. Witnessed the 89 earth quake too! I left that Friday afternoon after it happened.
I did a outage at ANO 1 in Arkansas a few years ago. I have worked 4 outages at Crystal River Fla. By best the best place to work other than home.
