Arctic Fox Electric Llc

 Bosnia-Herzegovina in the city of Doboj, where I finished my first Electrical Apprenticeship. Being raised this way, I developed a belief that all persons were created equal, no matter of skin color, race, or religion. This was not a compatible belief with the civil war that was brewing in my country, or the ethnic cleansing that was happening because of it. I was forced to leave my country in 1992 with my wife and two year old daughter.

We fled to Croatia, where we gained refugee status, and immediately applied to UNICEF to be relocated to any country that would have us. At the time, only the U.S.A., Australia, and New Zealand were accepting refugees from the war. After two years of waiting, and endless background checks, and physicals, we finally received a call from UNICEF telling us that we were accepted to the U.S.A., and would fly in 5 days. They would not however, tell us where in the States we were going to go. We found out shortly before we flew that we were going to Alaska. We have been here ever since, and I firmly believe that God works in miraculous ways. Since my wife and I love the outdoors, hunting, and fishing, He could have chosen no better place for us.

In 1995 I returned to the Electrical Trade, where I had to start from scratch, even though I was a licensed Journeyman in Europe. Since then, I have worked for several companies in Anchorage as an Apprentice, Journeyman, Foreman, and Electrical Administrator. Some of these companies are Raven Electric INC, Electrical Construction Consulting, M&M Electric, Aurora Electric INC, and Quality Electric. Throughout my time working for these companies, I have worked on all types of jobs from $100.00 service calls, to a running the electrical construction for a 1.5 million dollar laboratory.

In 2007, after one of the companies I worked for closed its doors I decided, since I was unemployed it was a good time to start my own business. I will never forget the look on my wife’s face when I told her. She looked me straight in the eye and said “are you serious”? Since then, my business has been growing, and I don’t worry about my future because I know that God is always watching over my shoulder, and everything is going to be ok. Thank you for reading this, and God Bless.
