Aegis Electrical was Jason's 3rd job, at the same time. In the beginning, Jason had a difficult time holding down 3 full time jobs. Now that pizza-making is in the past, Jason has bloomed as an electrician. We laud his decision to be an electrician, and the swiftness with which he has adapted to his new profession.
