Personnel
This makes up the core of PVE’s essential work force:
Mark Clough entered the electrical industry at an entry level position in 1971 working after school as a young high school student and found a true interest in the electrical industry. He eventually joined the local IBEW apprenticeship program in 1980, excelling and graduating from the program with honors. He then went to work immediately as a foreman electrician and continued in that capacity until joining Pajaro Valley Electric (PVE) in 1989. His intention of purchasing the business from Ray and Carl Sahlberg, second generation proprietors of PVE, was completed in 1990.
Paul Lauesen entered the construction industry in 1970 as a laborer for a local construction company. He worked summers until he completed the construction technology program at the local junior college after which he worked full time as a construction laborer. At 24, he joined a local electrical retailer/contractor and began his career in the electrical industry. With a desire to learn, he soon became knowledgeable of the materials and mechanics involved in putting a successful project together. Later he and Mark worked for the same company and developed a respect for one another and their work ethic. Mark asked Paul to come and work with him at PVE in 1990.
Fay Hilt began her employment with PVE in 1998, and has been involved in some form of the construction industry since 1981. Fay is the backbone of our office.
We have had to deal with many differing methodologies and invoicing systems
over the years, requiring flexibility and compromise in order to provide our
customer with the final product that meets their needs. Fay has always been
able to meet those needs in a friendly and professional manner.

recent era (1993). Randy has traveled with us from Ukiah to the oilfields of
Bakersfield. His mechanical aptitudes defy description. He is truly a magician
when it come to modifying existing electrical apparatus. Randy excels in working
with difficult environments, where harsh conditions challenge an electrical
systems' day to day operation.
