As Vice-President of TCESI and part shareholder, he not only has the knowledge of the industry but also is the company’s familiar face at our counter.

Chris Bisler
Chief Operating Officer

Chris started at Tri-County in December of 2003 as a fill in for a vacationing driver. At the time Chris was working for an engineering firm out of NYC. Traveling all the time did not seem to be a good fit for Chris and his then girlfriend now wife and President / Owner of TCESI, Joanna Bisler. So in January 2004 Chris made the switch from Mechanical engineering to Electrical Sales. Along with guidance from the late Clifford Getz and now retired former sales person Norman Brandolph both which bring over 75+ years’ experience in the electrical industry Chris learned quickly.

Chris continues to grow at Tri-County Electrical Supply, Inc. working his way in to more leadership roles.

Hobbies:

• Coaching his son Jacob in Ice Hockey, and Baseball.
• Playing Ice Hockey, Motorcycling w/friends
• Vacationing w/his family.
