About Electric Pro Academy

Electric Pro Academy was born in downtown Indianapolis as Jefferson Electric CEO Joel Walsman coped with raging service requests and a national stage of retirement looming for master electricians. We've found that many of the available educational curriculum for electrical apprentices are too theoretical and impractical. In response, we've sought to give a clear window into typical residential electrical work to educate and entertain viewers into joining the force! We welcome your feedback and support and thank you for watching.
