Mark F. Bemis has over 30 years of extensive Electrical Engineering experience, including the successful operation of his own engineering firm in Connecticut. Mark has a diverse background in building electrical system design ranging from K-12 schools to collegiate, athletic, healthcare, public safety, libraries and outdoor recreational facilities. His experience includes supervising and designing for electrical power distribution, lighting and life safety systems for all types of commercial and institutional building projects.
