Ten years in the trade. Two years running my own shop. One job at a time, done the way I'd want it at my own house.
I spent the first part of my career in marketing. The work was fine, but I wanted something more physical, more tangible. Something I'd be proud to point at at the end of the day. Electrical pulled me in hard — it's technical, it's dangerous, and when it's done right, it's the foundation that everything else in a home depends on.
I spent about ten years learning the trade under other licensed contractors. Rewires, service changes, new construction, remodels. About two years ago I got my own South Carolina Electrical Contractor license (CLM118131) and started Sunset Electric.
I started the business because the story I kept hearing from homeowners was the same: nobody returned calls, quotes took two weeks to show up, and half the work needed corrections afterward. I knew I could do better — not because I'm a magician, but because small shops don't have the dispatchers, scheduling layers, or crew rotations that make that happen. When you call Sunset Electric, you get me. When I quote, I'm the one billing. When I'm done, I'm the one who still answers if a breaker trips next month.
I live in Westminster with my partner and three kids. When I'm not on a job, I'm usually working on a tool hobby, reading up on something new (business, code, tools — pick one), or recording a short video about the trade for my YouTube channel.
Power is the most fun of all the trades. Dangerous, but rewarding. I'm glad I got here.
These aren't marketing bullets. They're the only way I know how to stay in business long-term.
Written estimate with actual line items. No "while I'm here" surprises. If the scope changes mid-job, I stop and quote it before adding it.
Panel upgrades, rewires, EV chargers, generators — if the AHJ requires a permit, I pull one. You get the inspection paperwork in your hand at closeout.
Drop cloths down, vacuum when I leave, wall patches where I can manage them. Your house should feel like my house when I walk out the door.
If a job is going longer than expected, you'll hear it from me before the end of the day — not in a surprise invoice later.
I'm based in Westminster, on the west side of Seneca near Lake Keowee. Most work is inside a ~45-minute drive: Greenville, Spartanburg, Anderson, Seneca, Clemson, Walhalla, Westminster, Salem, and the lake communities that wrap around Keowee and Hartwell.
Working outside that radius? Call anyway — I'll give you a straight answer about whether it makes sense.
Call, text, or send a message. Most quotes go out within 24 hours. No pressure, no runaround.
