Jay purchased ESS in 1997 with his wife Happie. He began working with existing customers, and soon the business grew beyond the boundaries of the existing facility. ESS Electric grew from a small firm with six electricians to one of Southeast Wisconsin’s pre-eminent firms with more than 20 electricians serving a number of industries including commercial, industrial and renewable energy.
Jay has been involved with the National Electrical Contractor’s Association (NECA), a $130 Billion/year association, since 1998. He received a Masters in Engineering.
