Don Sharkey, IEC Foundation Trustee
As a lifelong resident of Palm Beach County, Florida, I currently live in Jupiter, with my wife of 46 years, Catherine. We have two adult children, son Jimmy and daughter Rosemary.
I have worked in the electrical industry since graduating high school in 1976. During my junior and senior years, I attended a vocational program at North Technical Education Center in Riviera Beach, where I gained foundational skills in residential wiring. This training equipped me with the necessary competencies to succeed in the electrical field.
Our business, established in 1984, operates within the commercial, institutional, and industrial fields for new construction, renovation, and modernization projects throughout South Florida. We currently employ 30 field employees alongside 12 office and warehouse staff members.
We are active members of various industry organizations and associations, and I am presently serving as the National Secretary of the Independent Electrical Contractors Association, the premier open shop/merit shop electrical contractors trade association headquartered in Arlington, VA.
I have held a State of Florida Unlimited Electrical Contractor license since 1991.
My wife and I are members of Christ Fellowship Church, a non-denominational mega-church in South Florida, where we serve in the Special Needs Ministry. In my leisure time, I enjoy playing golf, shooting sporting clays, fishing, attending athletic events, reading, and supporting the Florida Gators.
