  • Joel Faust

    I started my career in the low voltage industry in 1998. I installed residential burglary alarms for about 5 years. The next 15 years took me through the commercial installation side. This included Burglary alarm, cameras (analog and ip), fire alarm, intercom, audio and tons of access control. In 2018 I made the move to a commercial door hardware company as a project manager/ estimator. I hold an Oregon LEA and Washington Master Electrician/ Administrator 06 license. I’m a board member of the Oregon IEC apprenticeship. I enjoy what I do and the people I have met along the way

  • Colton Reyes
    An automotive tech at 22 turned into LEA technician, I have had the fortune to work for several companies in my career of 9 years. So far, I’ve worked on everything but POTs and Nurse Call under the LEA license. The foundation of who I am, in my field, is a result of many great LEA journeyman I’ve worked under and with. I fell in love with the trade so much, that a year after I received my license, I joined the JATC committee. In spring of 2019, I was accepted as an JATC instructor. This allowed me the opportunity to teach and learn from 2nd and 3rd year apprentices. Instructing has been one of the most rewarding parts of my career, thus far. I am excited for what the future holds, for my career and the industry, as the next generation takes the lead.
