Leadership & Management
Sam Tigges
Project Manager
Do you know anything about kinesiology? We don't either, but our Project Manager does! With a degree in kinesiology from the University of Maryland and several certificates, Sam is well adept at leading our crews.
Ty Stein
Project Manager
Introducing our Project Manager, Ty Stein. He is an avid fisherman, which we think is ironic because he fell into the stingray tank at SeaWorld as a child! Ty is easygoing, with the ability to talk to anyone about anything. Just don't let him tell you any fish tales!
Terry Evanson
Executive Assistant
Meet our lead drummer… I mean Executive Assistant! When she isn't managing the office, Terry enjoys playing drums in a local band, gardening, and hiking. Luckily for us, she is also a very good baker! Birthday celebrations have never tasted so good.
Support Staff
Molly Slater
Office Support
Meet Molly! Compassionate and always ready to lend a helping hand, she puts care into everything she does. When she's not busy supporting those around her, you can find her sewing something new for her wardrobe or planning a quilt design. She also has a collection of fish-shaped purses that she's hoping to expand!
Averie Handschuh
Customer Service
When you are calling for a service provider, you want someone friendly and highly effective. That's Averie! Did you know that when she was little, she dreamt of being friends with Godzilla? Imagine the size of that friendship bracelet.
Field Technicians
Meet Summer! She loves hiking and crocheting. Fun fact — she has dyed her hair every color of the rainbow! Her bright personality (and even brighter hair) makes a cheerful addition to the team.
Summer Giovene
Apprentice
When Nick was young, he wanted to be an electrician or a plumber. Mission accomplished! Nick used to have a gourmet mushroom farm! Now that's a fun fact about a fun-guy. (Get it?)
Nick Neville
Electrician
Meet Jimmy! His hidden talent is unicycling. Unfortunately, he couldn't fit all his tools on the unicycle, so he'll be rolling up to your job site in one of our trucks. When Jimmy was little, he wanted to be an astronaut. We are lucky he chose to be an electrician instead. Sorry, NASA!
Jimmy Neville
Electrician
Pat has been an electrical technician for 4 years. In his free time, Pat enjoys camping, fishing, and going out with friends. A fun fact about Pat is that he loves cars and trucks. His passion for both his work and his hobbies makes him a great addition to our team.
Pat Spencer
Electrical Technician
Meet Ian — when he isn't at work, you can often find him clearing his head at the gym. He's also an avid fisherman. Fun fact: Ian loves building Lego sets (and we love a guy who can follow the instruction books)!
Ian Foster
Electrician
Devin's superpower is making outdated pop culture references nobody understands. We love that! In his free time, he enjoys watching movies, playing guitar, and singing. When he was a kid, he wanted to be a scientist and work in robotics research and development. Fun fact: Devin never learned to swim.
Devin Green
Electrician
Meet (the OTHER) Tyler! We have a couple Tylers on the team right now, but you'll be able to identify this one by his sarcasm. Fun fact — this one has no feeling in his fingertips! It's a gruesome story but feel free to ask him all about it if you catch him on a job site.
Tyler Plauger
HVAC Tech
This is Tim, also known as Mr. Cool, Calm and Collected. Tim is a really chill guy, unless you catch him nerding out over muscle cars. He's also an avid hiker and absolutely crazy about dogs. Tim is yet another team member who rides motorcycles! Too bad we can't fit tools on the back of a bike.
Timothy Wing
Electrician
Meet Jonathan, a man with plenty of miles behind the wheel who, after more than 25 years of driving, has somehow still managed to avoid mastering one skill: driving a stick. In his downtime, he enjoys golfing, camping, and listening to techno music. He has watched every episode of Law & Order and is pretty sure he could pass the Bar tomorrow with no prep or law school required (according to him, at least!).
Jonathan Vanderwerken
Electrician
Every team needs someone with a dream superpower, and Christopher's happens to be teleportation. If instant travel were possible, he'd probably use it to squeeze in even more rounds of golf. His fiancée thinks he already has a superpower — the ability to fall asleep just about anywhere.
Christopher Weiner

Layla
Chief Morale Officer
Our Chief Morale Officer doesn't make home visits, but you are welcome to meet her if you stop by our office. Layla might not be very good at answering the phones, but she sure keeps a smile on our faces throughout the day.
