HISTORY
After eighteen years of managing large-scale projects with a well-known commercial electrical contractor, Photon Electric's founder, Chris Estereicher, decided that he wanted to take on the challenge of becoming an independent, service-oriented, client-focused electrical contractor.
As a result, Chris founded Photon Electric in 2018. Since then, the business has grown to offer a wide range of services including distribution systems, power generation, fire alarm systems, tenant improvements, LED lighting retrofits, data communications, and much more.

Her engineering background and organizational skills allowed her to take on leadership roles early on in her apprenticeship.
