Meet Our Staff of Vero Beach Electricians and Technicians

Tony Gervasio, Sr., President

After two years of electrical training in Connecticut, Tony relocated to the Vero Beach area in 1974. He continued his career through an accredited apprenticeship program and earned his electrical contractor’s license in 1979. In 1989 he opened an Indian River office for a large Miami-based electrical contractor. During that time he became one of the first electrical contractors in the country to develop a direct relationship with Vantage Controls, one of the largest manufacturers of lighting controls and home automation products in the world. In 2002 Tony moved to Miami to take the position of Senior Vice-President, Operations, for a firm which has since become a wholly owned subsidiary of the largest electrical contractor in the country. During his tenure in Miami he grew the operations of the business from $35 million per year with two offices, to $65 million per year with four offices. In 2004 Tony became president of the company and was involved in projects such as The Four Seasons, Espirito Santos Plaza and Ten Museum Place, as well as schools, residential and commercial spaces around Florida and the Caribbean. In 2007 he was drawn back to the lovely Vero Beach, where he opened Brite Future Electric.

He worked through an accredited apprenticeship program and gained a wealth of experience before relocating to Miami with his father to assume the position of Estimator and Assistant Project Manager. He estimated projects in excess of $10 million dollars and assisted in the management of the Four Seasons Hotel as well as several other high-rise commercial projects.

In 1987 he completed his final year of high school in Palm Bay and for a short time worked for the Indian River County School Board. Towards the end of 1987 he began working with Tony at a local electrical contracting business. Albert left the area and returned to Pennsylvania in 1989 only to return in 1991 and once again started working with Tony. During that seventeen year span he earned his Journeyman Electrician’s License, attended several training classes for Vantage Lighting Controls and worked his way up to Senior Residential Estimator and Vantage system designer. When that company left Vero Beach in 2008 Albert pursued a career in Project Controls and Estimating for a large labor contract company.
