We understand the unique journey of transitioning from military service, and we are here to guide you every step of the way. At Eau Gallie Electric, we hold a rich history rooted in veterans’ contributions. Founded in 1948 by Garland Reynolds, a veteran of the United States Navy who bravely served in World War II, our legacy is one of honor and dedication. Now located in the heart of Melbourne, FL, we proudly serve customers across the United States.
Today, Eau Gallie Electric is led by Chris Hughes, a distinguished graduate of the United States Military Academy at West Point with a Bachelor’s Degree in Mechanical Engineering. Chris’s experiences at West Point have endowed him with invaluable skills – clarity, endurance, and a procedural approach – essential for running a successful business.
As a combat veteran of the 82nd Airborne Division, Chris’s deployment to Iraq in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom in 2004 forged his unwavering commitment to excellence. In 2005, he took the reins of Eau Gallie Electric and has since held the distinction of a State of Florida Unlimited Electrical contractor (since 2007) and a Professional Engineer in the State of Florida (since 2012).
Under Chris’s steadfast leadership, Eau Gallie Electric has achieved remarkable growth, amassing the capacity and capability to excel in a diverse array of electrical projects. Embodying the values instilled during his military service, Chris is dedicated to providing the same level of commitment and service to each and every client as the President of Eau Gallie Electric.
