Mike Rodkey

Starting in 1976, Mike learned the trade by working with his father, Fern, during weekends and throughout the summer vacations. Assisting his father gave him the basic knowledge of running wires, installing receptacles and switches. By the time he graduated from high school, in 1980, he was able to run most jobs with his father’s guidance. 

Selected by the electrical ABC apprenticeship program to represent the Frederick / Hagerstown area at the 1988 Skill Olympics in San Francisco, Mike then passed the Master Electrical exam on the first attempt.

By 1993, Mike took over managing the company and now is the owner of Fern Rodkey Electric. Mike expanded the company’s services beyond residential electrical work to include sign installation, trenching, parking lot light maintenance and more comprehensive commercial electrical services.

Fern Rodkey

Fern started working in the business with his father, Luther, in 1957. He then started his own business in 1973.

These days Fern has slowed down a bit and now finds enjoyment in maintaining his personal property. He is still available with a helping hand in any area if needed.
