What made you want to become an electrician?

My introduction to the electrical field was a transition from being in the Pipefitting/Welding field. A Master Electrician asked for me personally from our company because he expressed a love for my work ethic and craftsmanship during the previous six months in the field. He taught me to be accountable for my work and take pride in everything I do. I worked with him until he passed away, and I truly miss his smile and knowledge. R.I.H. Basil Bright Sr.
