Now President of Paciorek Electric, Inc., Tim Paciorek started out his electrical career at a very young age. First, he stuck a curtain rod into an electrical panel at his parents' home and started a small fire. (There are still marks in the panel there.) A second incident occurred when he dropped a hairdryer into the toilet and yes, it was plugged in! During a third incident, Tim wondered what would happen if the toilet didn’t have any water in it and tried vacuuming it out! Of all these incidents, Tim never got electrocuted! So...
