About Your House: Andrew Vanderburg on Low Voltage, Robotics & Career Pathways
What can a career in the trades lead to? On this episode of About Your House , Ray Terry sits down with Andrew Vanderburg , a technology professional with 24 years of experience in the low-voltage industry. Andrew shares the story of how he got his start at just 19 years old as a low-voltage helper and installer, worked his way through the industry, and eventually transitioned into enterprise technology, robotics, and AI solutions. Andrew talks about his experience working on major low-voltage projects, including data centers and large-scale technology installations, and how the skills he developed in the trades continue to shape his career today. He also discusses his current work as a national enterprise solutions salesperson for robotic assistant devices and AI technology, including solutions designed for security, public safety, compliance, and automated verification. But this conversation is about more than technology. Andrew and Ray also talk about the importance of showing young people the career opportunities available through skilled trades and hands-on learning. Andrew recently toured the Put Tools in Schools Toolbox and shares why programs that expose students to real-world skills and career pathways can make such a difference. From low-voltage wiring to robotics and artificial intelligence, Andrew's story is a great example of how a hands-on career can evolve into opportunities you may never have expected.
