Founder & Director
Restaurant Electrical Authority™
​
I am a Certified Master Electrician with more than 35 years of hands-on commercial and
residential electrical experience, specializing in real-world electrical safety, reliability, and
inspection readiness. Over the course of my career, I’ve worked on everything from small residential systems to complex commercial environments where downtime, safety failures, and inspection issues have immediate financial and operational consequences. That experience is what led to the creation of Restaurant Electrical Authority™ .
​
Restaurants operate under electrical conditions that most code books don’t fully address: high-
load equipment, constant cycling, heat, moisture, staff turnover, and zero tolerance for
downtime. After decades in the field—and as a restaurant operator myself—I saw a clear gap
between electrical code requirements and how restaurants actually function during service.
Restaurant Electrical Authority ™ built to close that gap.
​
This organization does not provide electrical contracting services. Instead, it establishes
practical, inspection-aware standards for electrical emergency readiness, compliance
preparation, and manager-level decision making. Every system, guide, and certification issued by
REA is based on real inspection experience, real failure scenarios, and conservative safety
principles aligned with NEC and AHJ expectations. My role is to translate professional electrical standards into clear, defensible procedures that restaurants can follow under pressure—without guessing, improvising, or creating unnecessary risk.
