Worked at CED (Consolidated Electrical Distributors) for 15 years (1986-1997 & 2001-2005). Worked Outside Sales for many years. Left in 2005 as a Profit Center Manager in Anaheim, CA.

2005-Founded Electrical Career Specialists, Inc. (ECS) as the only recruiting and staffing firm dedicated to the electrical wholesale distribution industry. I have parlayed my reputation, network and contacts to build a successful business.
The business has grown from a local Southern California recruiting firm to a
nationwide business working with some of the leading A-List manufacturers and distributors. We proudly work with members of NAED & NEMA.

My firm operates with the highest degrees of integrity and confidentiality. This is paramount in the recruiting and staffing industry. Since I own my firm, I have control as to how we operate. We only work with clients and candidates who subscribe to the same code of ethics.

My goal is to maintain and grow ECS in our industry. Creating a brand name over time is also an attainable goal.

2009-Founded Energy Career Specialists as a subsidiary of ECS, Inc. catering to the exploding energy markets. We work with solar, wind, tidal and other emerging technologies.
