Joe Stark

President
jstark@star-lo.com

As President of Star-Lo my responsibility is to oversee day-to-day operations. All Project Managers report to me. I personally handle all job negotiations. I pride myself in the fact that I know all the projects in progress, and I know all the men manning the projects. I am a hands-on person that has his finger on the pulse of Star-Lo.

I have worked in the electrical business since 1967, starting part-time in high school. After I received my electrical license in 1974, I proceeded to develop Star-Lo into one of New Jersey’s top contractors. I am a member of NECA, NEPA, NJ Electrical Inspectors Association, and the Whippany Rotary.
