History
Established in 1984.
My name is Wil, and I'm the owner of Modern Electric! Originally from St. Thomas, I spent time fishing & diving, but my pride came by serving locally with St Thomas' Water & Power Department.

While attending Parks College of Aeronautical Technology in Illinois, I met Anne, who would become my wife. We moved to Burbank, California, where I took an apprenticeship, passed the California Electrical Contractor Test, and earned my license. I established Modern Electric in 1984 to service local customers. Whether replacing a light switch for an elderly customer, installing an electrical panel for a celebrity customer, or representing a property management customer, Modern Electric has come to represent quality-driven, licensed work, with a friendly touch.

Having our children graduate from Burbank Schools has been such a blessing; Anne and I are forever grateful to the teachers who helped them grow.

Wil Jackson, your friendly neighborhood electrician for over 30 years
