Project Management

Hi, I’m Ryan Lawson. I manage our commercial teams in Tallahassee and Panama City. I am a state certified unlimited master electrician in Florida (EC13002151) and Georgia (EN213938). My Florida license serves as L&L’s secondary qualifier. My goal is to achieve absolute customer satisfaction through detailed proposals, excellent management, highly competent employees and the right tools and equipment to get the job done. Our divisions work on everything from small retail buildouts to restaurants, university buildings and large industrial manufacturing plants. Chances are we’ve wired a project just like yours. Personally, I grew up in electrical trade, watching Dad build a strong business and learning from his example. I attended and graduated from Florida State and made a stop at Morgan Stanley before permanently joining L&L back in 2001. My wife Julie and I have two sons, Thomas and Cole and we love to travel and get out in the sun. I would love to help you with your project, please reach out to me anytime.

V.P. of Commercial Operations

Joe has been in the electrical trade with Lawson & Lawson Electric since graduating high school in 2007. He completed a successful 4-year apprenticeship that led to a Journeyman electrical license and was able to perform residential, service and commercial electrical work in many different settings. Large commercial and industrial electrical projects have always been his passion in his career, he has completed multiple large-scale projects from the ground up for Lawson Electric before moving into a roll of commercial project estimating in 2013. Joe’s role as an estimator evolved into project management so that he could provide estimates on projects and manage the project and staff all the way from the bid to the electrical final inspection and ensure the project goes smoothly and is up to the Lawson Electric standard. He now oversees all commercial day-to-day operations of the Lawson Electric commercial and industrial construction department from estimates, project management and staff for projects from bid day to the close of the contract. When he is not at work he spends time with his wife, two sons and daughter in the outdoors, his passion for growing big deer and deer hunting is very deep as well as turkey hunting in the spring and fishing in the summer. Family, Faith, the outdoors and Lawson Electric are the most important things to Joe.
