I am currently employed in the kitchen cabinet reface and remodel dept. for Sears Home Improvement. However, I no longer perform the actual remodel or reface installs. I am performing as the Finish Plumber mostly for the plumbing hookups after the countertops go in. When they do not have plumbing hook ups or other plumbing work, i.e.: move gas lines, hot/cold water lines, or drain conversions etc. I perform service on cabinets, cabinet doors, countertops, laminate, electrical outlets and switches, etc. Currently work has become increasingly slow.
During this time I was accepting work from a subcontractor who was getting their work from companies such as Best Buy, Circuit City, Dish network, Direct TV, etc. just to name a few.
Being proficient in cable and coming from working with Cox Communications I was quickly installing Satellite Dishes as well as home theater, plasma TV, surround sound, hi fi stereo, VCR, DVD, Tivo, etc. which required speakers and cable to be installed sometimes in walls ceilings etc. running phone lines for Tivo, install electrical lines and outlets etc. Because of my proficiency I was soon being sent to troubleshoot problem jobs or complete/repair jobs other techs could not. When this company lost several of its contracts the work basically got real thin then stopped, so I found employment with sears.
During my employment with Sunshine Comm. as an HSD (High speed Data) tech.
My duties included the installation of the High Speed Internet Service for Cox Communications; as well as basic, expanded, and digital television installs and/or reconnects which include, customer education, running coax, cat 3 or 5 cable under houses, thru attics and interior walls, or exterior wiring as necessary.
This would also include installing necessary hardware and/or software on the customer’s computer.
I was considered an expert tech. and I was often routed with trouble calls rather than installs.
Due to numerous changes in the way and the amount contractors were paid by Cox Communications for services rendered, much to my dismay, I was forced to seek other/more gainful employment.
I began working with Aloha Solar in July of 1992. My duties included responding to service calls for the diagnosis and repair or replacement of solar, electrical and gas water heaters, solar panels, toilets, faucets, p-traps, etc. As well as unclogging drains as necessary. Location and repair of water leaks to include full and partial rerouting of hot or cold water lines in both commercial and residential situations. Most of the calls I responded to were residential plumbing repair, however, Aloha was also involved in the contracting of tenant improvement / new const. in which I became very proficient at rough installations, including top out, finish, to include gas line and fire sprinkler installations, (blk iron pipe & galv.) etc. I left Aloha Solar in Aug of 1999 due to Mr. Hufton dissolving his business and moving to Beaverton, Or. As the economy in Hawaii proved to be in desperation, I decided to move my family to San Diego, however, due to my extensive experience as a service tech of one type or another, and my self taught computer skills I decided to change my occupation and hire on with a fairly new company as a cable installation technician, changing my occupation to, HSD tech.

In April of 1988 I began working as a service plumber with Geronimo. This entailed responding to occupied units to perform various plumbing and drain repairs including but not limited to the repair or replacement of, toilets, faucets, water heaters, angle stops, sinks, etc. Also clearing clogged drains as necessary and finally making a determination as to whether the cause of the damage was due to normal wear and tear or occupant abuse, which required appropriate reports to be filed. Around June of 1991 Geronimo lost a portion of their Military Housing Contracts and gained some others, which left them over manned in plumbing and undermanned in housing repair. I accepted a transfer to a position as a service tech. and received on the job training in housing repair and change of occupancy. This was primarily servicing unoccupied units for turnover but did include service repairs to occupied units as well. This was similar to service plumbing and included plumbing, only now my duties were also to include but not be limited to the repair or replacement of electrical outlets, wall switches, light fixtures, wall and ceiling fans etc. Changing door locks, knobs, hinges, etc. Repairing closet doors, vinyl and tile floors, windows, screens, sliding glass and screen doors, kitchen and bathroom cabinets, drawers, and countertops etc. Then determine probable cause of damages and file appropriate reports.
When I learned that Geronimo had been underbid by ABC Co. I chose to accept a position with Aloha Solar.
Position: Serviceman (Drain Cleaner / Plumber) Duties included: Responding to calls from dispatch for clogged drains, faucets, toilets, p-traps and water line leaks, etc. Diagnosed problem, sold solution, completed repairs and collected payment for finished job, filled out all necessary paperwork, clean and maintain a company vehicle, as well as tools and inventory.
Duties included: Assisting dentists in routine dental procedures and oral surgeries. Rotating duties included dental hygiene, (performing routine scalings/cleanings), radiology to include panoramic x-rays, office reception and administration. I also trained with the FMF (Fleet Marine Force), for field exercises (desert and cold weather), with US Marine Corps. I received my honorable discharge in Sept. 1984
