Her husband John, is the working foreman and IT brains of the company, while Carla McRorie is the secretary and bookkeeper.

Victor Weinberg has been with Little Sparkie for three years, and has been doing electrical work since he was 16!  That’s 21 years of commercial, industrial, and residential experience.  He also joins Catherine in installing and servicing generators.

Interesting Facts:

John and CatherineCatherine Nazarene, who formerly worked as a CPA and tax specialist, decided to switch careers because of her life-long love of things electrical. Even as a child, she was fascinated with light bulbs, and would buy lamp holders (fixtures or sockets), plugs, and wire, and put them together from scratch. Substations were another particular interest of hers, and they still fascinate her today.

“Sparkie” is an old name for an electrician or anyone in the electrical trade. The person who originally fired up her returning interest in electrical work went by that handle. One day the two of them cooked up the name “Little Sparkie” because she was so much smaller than her colleague. In fact, Catherine is small by anyone’s standards, so the name of it was a natural.

“Giving it to the company I founded is one way I try to ‘pay it forward,’” says Catherine.
