Shawn O'Meara
In the Fall of 1991, at the age of 20, Shawn began his career as an electricians apprentice. The 4 year program, administered by the Associated Builders and Contractors of Nevada, includes full time electrical work as well as night classes. This structure provides the well rounded skills and knowledge needed to become a highly qualified journeyman electrician. One of only five of the original thirty to graduate from the apprenticeship program, Shawn brings Aspen electric customers a superior skill set. You should not settle for less. His experience spans all aspects of electrical construction and service, including heavy industrial, commercial, and residential. In 2005, Shawn formed Aspen Electric LLC. Starting small with a "little truck and one drill" Aspen Electric LLC has grown into an established, well respected and trusted local contractor. The eighteen years Shawn has spent becoming one of the premier electricians in Northern Nevada ensures premium service for Aspen Electric customers. Shawn and his wife are native Nevadans and the parents of one lovely girl. Outside of work he and his family are usually pedaling their mountain bikes around Peavine Mountain or pitching a tent high up in the Sierras.
