About Our Team
CK Electric is intentionally structured as a Master-led, owner-operated company. When you work with us, you are working directly with the people responsible for the standards, decisions, and workmanship behind every project.
There are no layers, no handoffs, and no commission-based sales structure — just experienced professionals accountable from first call to final completion.
Carl Kirkpatrick
Owner | Master Electrician
He completed a four-year apprenticeship through IEC Chesapeake — the Mid-Atlantic chapter of the Independent Electrical Contractors (IEC) — graduating at the top of his class. He also holds an Associate’s degree in Project Management from Montgomery College, strengthening his ability to approach each project with technical precision and structured execution.
Before entering the electrical trade, Carl served eight years in the United States Marine Corps, including deployments to Japan, Iraq, and Afghanistan. That experience shaped his disciplined, safety-first mindset and commitment to doing the job correctly the first time.
At CK Electric, Carl personally performs every Expert Diagnostic and completes the work he recommends — ensuring direct accountability from evaluation through installation.
Outside of work, he enjoys fishing, hunting, boating, and traveling.
Nancy Damiano

She holds a Bachelor of Science in Governmental Administration from Christopher Newport University and an MBA with a concentration in Marketing from Strayer University. In addition to her leadership role at CK Electric, Nancy maintains a full-time career in the financial regulatory sector, where she works within a highly structured and compliance-driven environment.

Nancy oversees financial management, process development, marketing strategy, and long-term planning — ensuring CK Electric operates with clarity, accountability, and professional standards.
