ockmon & Woody Electric Co., Inc. (Bockmon & Woody), started as Bockmon & Womble Electric when Glen G. Bockmon and Harold Womble teamed up to establish the corporation in 1955. Glen G. Bockmon retired in 1984, making his son, Glen A. Bockmon, a partner. In 1990 when Harold Womble retired, Gary E. Woody became a partner and together Bockmon and Woody was established, and they pushed the company to new heights. Woody had been working for Bockmon & Womble for 17 years as a senior foreman. He was joined by partners Jeff and Greg Bockmon when Glen A. retired in 1999. All three partners, Gary E., Jeff, and 22
Greg, began their careers as shop helpers and learned the electrical business from the bottom up. In 2014, Gary E. Woody’s sons, Gary M. and Nick, joined the partnership. They also worked their way up from shop helpers, to working in the field, and eventually management. Gary M. graduated from the University of Oregon with a Business degree and is currently VP/chief estimator. Nick graduated with a business degree from California State University, Sacramento, while working summers for Bockmon & Woody and is now VP/superintendent.

responsible for supervising eight to 15 digging crews on multiple projects each day. “When I started at Bockmon & Woody five years ago, the partners were interested in diversifying and starting a directional boring division. We all met with the common goal to eventually begin performing all of our underground work,” says Renfrow. “In the past, we hired owner-operators to come in and do the trenching, digging, and augering, but thought it would be better to develop our own fleet and invest heavily into our underground division. The new division has been a profitable and successful endeavor for the company.” C A LCO N T R AC TO R .CO M
