I have been an electrician for 40 years working on residential and commercial projects for my family’s electrical company.

I enjoy hunting, fishing, riding my Harley, and driving my beloved ’57 Chevy. I also have 10 acres to explore which is home to five horses and six dogs.

I am inspired by good deeds. As a Boy Scout Leader and Mentor, I take great pride in the Scout Oath. Grandkids, Waylon and Avery are also my inspiration to get out and explore. Avery especially likes to get us up and moving to go see the horses.

I am motivated by my family. We have worked together for 40 years and my Dad started the family business to make sure his sons had a trade to earn a living with. I lost my Dad to brain cancer last year and it prompted my move to Texas. I had been working in California for the family business while the wife was here in Texas. I was where I needed to be to care for my Dad and my wife was here in San Antonio, caring for her Dad.

Mister Sparky was the closest alternative to working for my family business. There was a sense of integrity from the time of application I did not see elsewhere.

“Anything that can go wrong will go wrong”
Murphy's law

I have about 20 plus years of accounting experience and I enjoy music and cinema as well as sleeping in my free time. I love a good party with my sweetie, family & friends . Brilliant positive people inspire me and my biggest motivation is a good day as well as a positive attitude.  I chose Mister Sparky Because it's a great place to work.  Good people, excellent teamwork and professionalism. I think about this often: "Before you embark on any path ask the question: Does this path have a heart? If the answer is no, you will know it, and then you must choose another path. The trouble is nobody asks the question; and when a man finally realizes that he has taken a path without a heart, the path is ready to kill him. At that point very few men can stop to deliberate, and leave the path. A path without a heart is never enjoyable. You have to work hard even to take it. On the other hand, a path with heart is easy; it does not make you work at liking it.” ? Carlos Castaneda, The Teachings of Don Juan: A Yaqui Way of Knowledge.

My name is Robert Rodriguez and I am fairly new to the electrical field. I am ecstatic to dive into this new journey starting as an apprentice and making my way up the ladder with hard work and dedication. In my free time I enjoy spending time with my kids, family, and doing physical activities.

I have been in the trade for about 9 Months. I am all over the place, predominantly a homebody. I enjoy working on projects around the house and turning it into a home, in my free time. Cooking new dishes, eating,  board-games, and yard work are some great free time activities for me. I am a amature gunsmith and enjoy building, restoring and shooting old firearms. Lately I have been teaching myself woodworking which is developing into a low paying(very low) side gig.  When I'm not building things, you can find me around community or culture events. I enjoy live shows, musicals and formal events, but am just as comfortable camping or at an airshow. A voracious reader and horrible video game player, and a huge sci-fi, movie nerd. I'm also about to take up pursuing playing the piano. My faith is a huge inspiration to my core values. While I have not been to church in years I continue to strive to live as closely to those values that are in the Christian faith. Doing the best job possible in the acceptable amount of time is my motivation. Whether it's at home, play, or work I strive to do this. I also am a big proponent of working first and before play.  Growth and challenging yourself are huge for me, and that we should never stop in our pursuit of knowledge and education. I chose Mister Sparky because it was the position that captured my eye during the job search.  After being called for my initial interview I started researching Mister Sparky SA and believe that the company's values and motivations align closely with my own, and that I could bring value to that company while growing both personally and professionally.
