Matt has been an electrician for over 20 years. He enjoys service calls and property management work. Finding solutions to electrical problems and seeing the relief on the faces of the customers is extremely rewarding. He also enjoys working on vintage and historical homes and buildings. Restoring them to their past glory combined with up-to-date comfort is a challenge he enjoys. Matt helped to design and build the wiring of the wine tasting room at Walnut Ridge Vineyard.
