About Mad Electrician

Stephen Madrosen (Mad Electrician) started his YouTube channel in May of 2020 when he was halfway through his Electrician Apprenticeship with IBEW Local 48 in Portland, Oregon. After having countless conversations with friends and family regarding becoming an apprentice electrician, Stephen decided to start uploading videos to YouTube, answering common questions that he was asked. Not only did this save him time by directing people to his videos when they had questions, but he quickly realized that there was a much bigger audience out there who also had the same questions.

While his first uploads were tolerable at best, as he learned and refined his process over the years, he has become one of the leading ambassadors for electricians and apprenticeships on the internet. His audience enjoys his no-nonsense approach to answering their questions and giving them the value that they’re looking for. From step by step instructions in helping future sparkys get into an electrician apprenticeship, to tips and tricks for current electricians, Stephen has grown quite the following over the years.

Through hard work, dedication, and initiative, Stephen was able to become a foreman just seven short months after completing his apprenticeship. At this time, Stephen (27 years old), works as a foreman electrician at a hospital in the Portland, Oregon area.

This is still just the beginning for Mad Electrician, and Stephen believes the future is very bright. If even one person’s life can be positively impacted from his efforts, he believes that all of his hard work has been worth it. ⚡️
