OUR HISTORY

(Above: Dave and son Steve)

Dave started Groe Electric in 1978.

He had worked at Winnebago as an electrician and decided it was time to give working on his own a try. He worked from his own truck, did billing from the kitchen table and housed all the parts in the barn. There are stories of the family dog opening up and maybe destroying a few parts boxes.

Steve joined the business full time right

out of high school in 1992.

He had been working alongside his dad for as long as he can remember, starting out as the gopher, like many kids did, and proceeding to develop the skills needed to be the owner.

Melissa soon took over the office

activities when she married Steve in 1996.

The office in town was built in 1997, saving all future parts boxes from the curious dogs. Luke joined Groe Electric in 1998, when Luke and Lexi were born. It didn’t take him long to learn that operating the equipment was his favorite part. We added Kate and Megan in 2001. The future looks bright with Luke soon to finish college and join us full time.

Three generations of Groes have proudly

served the area for over 40 years.

Dave decided to explore retirement on a more

regular basis in 2018. Don’t be surprised if you see

him out and about from time to time. We like to

pair him up with Luke as he learns the business

from the ground up. Sometimes Dave has Kate

help as she learns some of the basics too.

From a one-man operation, Groe Electric

has grown.

We currently employ Dan (journeyman electrician) and Alec (helper) full time. John (journeyman electrician) works many hours as he enjoys his retirement from the City of Lake Mills.

Master Electrician Steve would love to be

able to wire more.

But he spends much of his time behind a desk doing all the bid work. He sneaks out whenever he can. Luke works as much as he can as he finishes his college degree. Melissa gets to handle all the fun paperwork.
