Jed Apple

Jed Apple is an electrician who has lived the trade from the ground up, and he knows exactly what it takes to get to the next level. With over 20 years of hands-on experience, Jed started his journey as an apprentice, working grueling 12-hour shifts, often in extreme weather conditions, just to earn his stripes. He’s been through it all: from the dusty attics of residential homes to the high-stakes demands of commercial job sites, tackling complex wiring and troubleshooting issues that would make most electricians cringe. Jed isn’t just another guy with a toolbox; he’s a natural mentor who has trained countless apprentices, sharing his practical wisdom and real-world know-how. He’s the kind of person who understands the frustration of not finding an answer in the National Electrical Code (NEC) when you’re on a tight schedule. He knows the feeling of sweating over a calculation, double-checking it because one small mistake could mean hours of extra work. And he’s faced his own share of setbacks—he still remembers the first time he failed a major licensing exam and the determination it took to get back up, study harder, and pass with flying colors. Jed’s passion for teaching came from his own struggles. He knows what it feels like to be overwhelmed by the NEC, to juggle a full-time job while trying to study for an important exam, and to face the fear of failure. That’s why he’s made it his mission to create resources that are not just informative but practical and easy to understand. When he’s not working on job sites or mentoring new electricians, you can find Jed reading up on the latest NEC updates or jotting down notes for his next guide. With Jed Apple, you’re not just getting advice from an author—you’re learning from someone who’s walked the same path and understands the challenges firsthand.
