A native Australian, Owner and Electrician Johnathan Quong has resided in Vermont since 2003. John moved to America to pursue his dream of playing college baseball and has remained here ever since. A Natural Resource Biologist, John moved to Vermont to work at Echo Lake Aquarium and Science Center. After realizing that advancement in his career would require him to relocate away from Vermont, his professional direction shifted to the electrical trade, a field that John had some experience in as a property owner and manager.
John completed an apprenticeship with a family-owned electrical contractor where he gained significant commercial and residential experience. Once licensed, John proudly launched New England Electric where he is committed to providing service to his customers that is honest, helpful, positive and solution oriented.
John and his wife live in Chittenden County with their three young children. John still enjoys playing baseball in Vermont’s Green Mountain League...and in the back yard with his kids.
Jeremy is a Master Electrician. He was the first official hire at NEE and he has been with the company since September of 2013. Jeremy has been working in the industry since 2006, including experience with a commercial roofing company and a local disaster renovations company, where he eventually started his electrical apprenticeship.
His experience spans from large industrial and commercial jobs, to small residential service calls. Jeremy believes the key to being a good electrician starts with a phrase found at the beginning of the electrical code book, "Electrical equipment shall be installed in a neat and workman-like manner.”
Spending a little time to find a solution to the customer's needs in the least invasive way possible, without leaving a mess or an eyesore is the key to his work philosophy.
Jeremy is most often tasked with taking our new apprentices under his wing. And he likes to share with them, the story of when he was an apprentice. He had a foreman who, after Jeremy had done something not to the foreman’s standard, would ask, "Do you want to be known as a good electrician, or a great electrician?"

After managing an independent general contractor business for a couple of years, Rand joined the NEE team in December of 2018.

His experience in organizing & updating many of our behind-the-scenes functions has helped improve external customer communication as well as our internal team communication.
Rand is an avid backcountry skier, and as soon as the snow starts falling we often catch him sneaking out of the NEE office to hit the slopes. A positive attitude and a solutions-based approach are core tenets in his business philosophy.
