Jay Strickland - Owner Master Electrician

Hello, I'm Jay, a Texarkana native and second-generation master electrician. My journey in the electrical trade began in 1989, and after years of hands-on experience, I established LiveWire Electrical Services in 2017. My goal was to deliver unparalleled expertise and a personal touch to our community. I'm honored to lead a team boasting over 100 years of collective experience, guaranteeing meticulous and honest service on every project. On a personal note, I'm a devoted father of four, with a house full of furry friends – four dogs and a cat! I'm also excited to share that my wife, Megan, has joined LiveWire as our office manager, contributing her talent and commitment to our company's success. When I’m not working, you can find me coaching on the softball and baseball fields.

Apprentice

My name is Cade Weinheimer, and I’m a 19-year-old from Texarkana, Texas. I graduated from Texarkana College, where I made the Dean’s List multiple times for academic excellence. I was also a member of the National Honor Society before graduating, which helped me develop strong leadership, organization, and teamwork skills. Currently, I’m an apprentice with LiveWire, where I’m gaining hands-on experience and building my expertise in electrical work. Growing up in Texarkana taught me the value of hard work, dedication, and community, and I continue to apply those principles every day as I learn, grow, and pursue my career goals.
