About CJC Electric

Chris Cucinelli, owner of CJC Electric, received his business degree from Boston College in 2000. After graduation, he took a summer job with a family friend, Anthony Mendillo, a local electrical contractor. Chris instantly loved the work and decided to go back to school to become an electrician. After completing his apprenticeship, Anthony tragically passed away after a battle with Cystic Fibrosis. In 2005, Chris opened CJC Electric, taking with him the knowledge that he learned from his former colleague.

Chris started CJC Electric with the goal of ensuring customers receive the electrical services they deserve while consistently exceeding expectations.

After the economic downturn in 2008, Chris used the slowdown as an opportunity to go back to school to gain more insight into the construction industry. For three years, Chris traveled to New York City three times a week after work in order to attend graduate school.

He received his Masters Degree in Construction Administration from Columbia University in 2012. Chris then hired a longtime friend and mentor, Jack Pohlman, whose 40 years of industry experience helped CJC Electric take on larger and more complex projects.

Chris is a Connecticut native who has now been working in the electrical field for over 20 years. Throughout the years, Chris has worked alongside many contractors and his goal is to make sure every customer is satisfied at the completion of every project.
