Who is Larry?

Hi, I’m Larry! I’ve spent the last 20 years helping friends and family troubleshoot electrical issues over the phone and honestly it’s been rewarding to see my advice actually work LOL!

As a Signing Supervisor Electrician (basically that’s a Masters in Electrical) I want to help people who are brave enough to DIY, but smart enough to know when they’re in over their heads. Electricity is scary y’all! I take it seriously and my goal is to help you DIY safely- and maybe even save you some money on a house call.

I’ve made myself available to hire for folks who are handy, but not quite sure how to tackle scary electrical issues. Consider me the person you call before you call the shop.

Currently the Senior Maintenance Program Manager for Portland Public Schools, I manage a department of 77 maintenance employees. In my free time you’ll catch me riding motorcycles with Sang Froid Riding Club and harassing family and friends with a wildly contagious laugh.
