• Lighting Specialist Assistant

  • Jun 1991 - Aug 1992

  This is where I got my feet wet in the lighting and electrical industry. While in college I wanted a summer position that was related to the industry of architecture and design, lighting plays a major role all aspects of design. I assisted two very influential and knowlegeable sales team personnel by reading blueprints, working with manufacturers and electricians to develop competitive bids for large scale projects, including Soldier Field, McCormick Place among various other large scale projects. This is where my lighting career truly began. Show less
