“Telgian has allowed me to grow as a person and grow in the industry and has supported me all the way. Over 20 years ago I came out of the field as an installer and became part of the bigger solution, moving into designing fire alarm systems. Having been in the field allowed me a perspective a lot of our designers didn’t have. Because of my field experience I was sent to Anaheim California to help a project for a few days and came home many weeks later. This was my first involvement if a fast-paced design team that went from design to approval to installation of separate system segments in less than 48 hours,” says Parrish. “Today my focus is on training and maintaining our compliance with the many licenses we need to hold in order to serve our clients.”
