In this episode of Going with the Flow, Lucas talks with Cellino electrician Quinn Rola about his background in the trade and what it’s been like to join Cellino’s growing electrical department. Quinn shares how he got his start working alongside his father at a young age and eventually turned that hands-on experience into a full-time career. He walks through his transition from line crew and engineering work to residential and commercial service at Cellino and explains why he was excited to help build a department from the ground up. Lucas and Quinn cover everything from panel upgrades and underground wiring to commercial projects, EV chargers, smart panels, and the broader shift toward electrification. Quinn also talks about what he loves most about the job: helping customers, working in new environments every day, and learning alongside the Cellino team. The episode closes with a “What the Flush” segment featuring dangerous DIY electrical jobs, water-filled panel boxes, and some of the most questionable homeowner fixes Quinn has come across in the field.
