In this episode the Master Electrician, Dustin Stelzer, enlightens the apprentice on construction culture and gender in the electrical industry. Electrician U was founded by Dustin Stelzer, a Master Electrician, in Austin, Texas. He created  Electrician U in 2016 by making training videos for electrical work on YouTube and Instagram, so that anyone out there who sought a deeper knowledge of the craft could have access. Teaching from the field has always been Dustin’s passion, and to this day lives out that dream, by educating apprentices and journeymen the same way he learned, with a pair of Kleins in his hands and a tool belt strapped around his waist.
