Our History and Legacy
Our story began with Carl Orgeron, who served as an electronic technician in the military before establishing A-1 the day after his first son, Ryan, was born in 1973. Although originally established as a residential electrical company, it quickly expanded and transformed into the commercial contractor that it is today. Ryan grew up in the industry, working at A-1 in the summers and majored in Electrical Engineering at Louisiana State University. After earning his engineering license and completing a four-year internship at Keystone Engineering, Ryan joined the A-1 company with his father and established Drake Engineering, a partner company, enabling the teams to work together on design-build projects. Carl retired in 2009, leaving Ryan to carry on his legacy - and carry it he did.
