In today’s episode of The LoCo Experience podcast, I had the pleasure of getting to know Kevin Fiske and Brittany McCahan from Fiske Electric. Fiske is an electrical design and contracting business with a homebase just outside Loveland, and clients all across Northern Colorado, the Western US, and occasionally, internationally. They have a highly diversified service offering, ranging from adding a new outlet in the garage for a homeowner, to residential subdivisions to commercial and tech installations, and also have a large presence in the agricultural sector, having recently completed work on the largest robotic dairy operation in the US!
Kevin is the third leader of Fiske Electric, which was founded by his uncle Virgil in 1977. Kevin moved to Colorado from Alaska in 1984 to join the team - and soon after became a partner, and the business was subsequently managed by Virgil’s son Clifford beginning in 1996. Kevin ascended to leadership and majority ownership in 2016, and Brittany joined the company in 2019. In 5 short years, she has been key to modernizing Fiske’s image online, renovating their HR functions, and maintaining a culture of excellence and integrity while growing their team in a challenging labor market.
Today’s conversation explores what it takes for a business to ascend to middle market scale - over time - and what it means to be a part of a multi-generational family enterprise. Brittany’s status as heir-apparent was earned not granted, a fact that became increasingly obvious as we continued the conversation, and pride in both father and daughter in being a part of this legacy family enterprise is pronounced throughout the conversation. And so, please enjoy, as I did, my conversation with Kevin Fiske and Brittany McCahan.
