About

JoshTheSparky.com 

Welcome to JoshTheSparky.com — my personal journal, study log, and resource hub as a 23-year-old apprentice electrician in Massachusetts. I’m in my second year of journeyman trade school and deeply committed to mastering the National Electrical Code (NEC), electrical theory, calculations, and real-world trade knowledge.

joshthesparky.com

This site is built for me (and fellow learners) as I document my progress, break down complex concepts, share quick references, and track my journey toward becoming a licensed journeyman (and eventually master) electrician. Everything here reflects my current understanding as a student — always cross-check with official sources, licensed professionals, or your local AHJ
