How I Got My Start
Paul Byrne's professional history spans over 33 years of dedicated service within the electrical contracting industry. His career began in foundational field roles where he mastered the fundamental technical competencies of the trade—learning from the ground up the realities of residential wiring, safety protocols, and manual diagnostic techniques.
