Who We Are

Your connection to quality!

Founded on honesty, safety, and customer satisfaction.

Live Wire Electric began in Rodney Nelson’s home in 1992. He and wife, Bev, purchased Whitmore Electric on West Grimes in 2000 where they acquired a retail store and more valued customers. Rod began in the electrical business in 1983 working for Mel Whitmore of Whitmore Electric, then went on the work as an electrician and machine maintenance technician in several Fairfield manufacturers. Purchasing the site on West Grimes gave Live Wire a “home” where customers can stop in for appointments and purchase from the retail store.

Rod and Bev are Fairfield graduates and are active in both the Fairfield and Libertyville communities. Rod is the former Mayor of Libertyville (2010-2022). He is also an active Elks, Fairfield Economic Development Association and Iowa Inspectors Association member. Bev is a past Fairfield Chamber of Commerce President and current Chamber Ambassador. She is also the Libertyville Community Center President. They have one son, Trenton Nelson, also an FHS graduate now residing in Libertyville, IA.
