Instructor: Shawn Haggin
I live in Roseburg with my wife, Millie, and our dog, Jaxx, and our new puppy, Abby. I began my apprenticeship in Oregon and obtained electrical licenses in Washington, California, and Oregon. My career on the West Coast involved major industrial and heavy commercial projects, where I had the privilege of working with highly skilled Journeymen. Through these experiences, I developed and continually honed a strong skillset.
During my apprenticeship, a friendly competition emerged to find the best code articles for discussion during breaks and lunch. I quickly became known as the “go-to code guy.” My travels and collaborations with knowledgeable Journeymen exposed me to a vast array of expertise, and I made it a point to keep learning even after the workday ended.
Eventually, I earned my Oregon Supervisors license, which significantly accelerated my career. The confidence and knowledge I gained were invaluable, leading me to a position as the Assistant Chief Electrical Inspector for the State of Oregon. In this role, I mastered the National Electrical Code and Oregon Laws and Rules from a regulatory standpoint, inspecting projects and performing precise calculations.
After leaving the Oregon Building Codes Division, I was determined to leverage my skills to benefit the electrical industry. This led to the creation of Oregon Electric Test Prep, aimed at enhancing the industry in Oregon. I share my knowledge and experience with every Apprentice, Journeyman, Supervisor, and student I meet, all with the goal of improving the electrical industry in our state.
