MEET OUR EXECUTIVE TEAM
Jim Finn has worked as an electrician for over 55 years and has served in a wide range of different capacities within the industry and would be widely considered by an expert in the field. He has worked with adequate connectors all his working career, but saw a need for something better and different that would make his job easier. Since he couldn't find it, he created it! Jim has a high standard on any creative project and demands that it be done right. He worked over several reiterations of this connector until it was exactly what is needed. Jim is an innovator by nature and has many more ideas and plans to come.
“Basically, I've done residential, commercial and industrial. I ran a company for seven years. I estimated for a company for another 10 and I have worked as a hands on electrician all my life. I love working out in the field, and commercial and industrial buildings are my number one. Hospitals are fun because they stimulate your mind. I've done a lot of residential as well and there's a lot of good things and a lot of bad things about residential wiring.”

“I choose to devote my energies toward truly worthy goals. Good work that I can be proud of. I was instantly enamored when Jim brought the idea of the Klamshell Connector to me. Simple to use, easy to understand, elegant in its simplicity, and yet a true and worthy game changer in its design. I wondered about how many countless electricians we might make a real and positive difference for by bringing this into existence. To take someone’s brilliant idea and make it real so that others might benefit! Now that is work that is truly worth doing!”
