Leadership Team
Our history
Whittington Electric was launched in 1987 by husband-and-wife team, Fred & Janet Whittington. The company began out of their home with Fred completing the electrical work, and Janet handling operations. As they continued to grow, they added electricians from the local unions and office team members. Janet became president of the company in 1997 when they incorporated. Janet continues to lead WEI as President to this day, and Fred is responsible for developing and leading the Estimating and BMS teams.
In 2002 Fred & Janet’s son Todd joined WEI after graduating from The Master’s College. Todd has since grown the business and expanded the companies services by developing relationships with top general contractors and building a team of high performing project managers.
Nathan Baer, a Registered Professional Engineer, began with the company in 2015 and expanded WEI’s offerings to include Electrical Consulting and Design-Build. Nathan has streamlined the design and construction process allowing WEI to deliver faster construction schedules with fewer complications.
With WEI’s existing experience from the field combined with the design expertise allows us to greatly expand our support for our clients and our projects
