About JR Electric
JR Electric, Inc. was founded by Jeff Ridenour, President, in 1982. Jeff's passion for the electrical field started at the age of 16 when he assisted an electrical contractor as summer job. He was immediately entrenched with learning the trade. He continued to work for electrical contractors during and post high school and eventually obtained his contractors license when he was 20 years old. He decided to put his electrical endeavors on the peripheral in order to pursue a college education at Westmont College where Jeff met his wonderful wife, Lori. Jeff has continued to live and raise his family in Santa Barbara and has built his business primarily doing custom homes in the area. As the company expanded in 1995, Jeff scaled back from working in the field and assumed the role of directing and managing projects. He continues in that position to this day.
