After completing the CVECA apprenticeship program and working through the early 1980’s during an economic recession, Steve Tribble started Tribble Electric in 1983. The Company began working with several farms in the area installing and repairing electrical equipment.  From there, by word of mouth, the company's operations grew into a small commercial and residential clientele. Having the support of, his then-girlfriend and soon-to-become wife, Dody, the business grew from working in the basement of their house to an office/warehouse space in Henrico County. In 1994 he purchased and developed the land where Tribble Electric Building is today. Steve has always taken pride in having his family join the business and contribute to its success.  Realizing how quickly demands and technology advances in the electrical industry, he diversified his services to include not only residential and commercial but also electronics and low-voltage systems. Steve built his reputation on “Always do what you say you will do” and “Do the right thing”. Steve’s hobbies include working on his farm, bicycling, Clay Target Shooting, reading, and spending time with his wife at Myrtle Beach.
