KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 22 -- IDEAL® Electrical has concluded its fourth annual IDEAL National Championship by crowning the first-ever International Champion at Disney’s® Coronado Springs Resort in Lake Buena Vista, Florida.
Tom Matic from Melbourne, Australia took home the title of ‘World’s Best Electrician’ and a brand new RAM® 1500 Pickup Truck.
Matic won after competing against professional electricians from the United States (US), Canada and China in an intense hour-long competition that required the competitors to complete four challenges – one reflecting each country’s unique electrical installation methods.
The inaugural international competition took place following three days of competition, including Professional, Student/Apprentice, Contractor and School Challenge categories.
Reigning two-time Professional Individual Champion and two-time Professional Team Champion, Greg Anliker, proved he was still at the top of his game, taking home his third Professional Individual Champion title and US$75,000. (US$1 = RM4.17)
Jordan Finfrock from Flatwoods, Kentucky took the top spot in the Student/Apprentice Individual category with a prize of US$30,000.
Kellenberger Electric’s Clay Noga and Keith Runkle (Kellenberger 2) clinched first place for the Contractor Challenge while Minneapolis JATC’s Angela Bissonnette-Penna and Jacob Thoennes earned first place in the North American School Challenge.
About four years ago, IDEAL Electrical established the IDEAL National (US) Championship to showcase the skills and professionalism of today’s electricians.
