Wade Williamson

age: 40 | Electrical Contractor | R&W Electric

R&W Electric was founded in 2000 and quickly became a leader in the electrical industry throughout the Four States area.  Upon inception, Wade Williamson was a 21-year-old boy that wanted to conquer the world.  “I knew that my path would not be the traditional one but that I would make a mark on the world because of my entrepreneurial spirit,” he says.  “Today, my goal is to provide next level service to all customers.  We work hard to anticipate the needs of those that entrust us with their projects, whether it concerns new construction or repairs.”

Wade married his high school sweetheart, Riki, and they have raised their beautiful daughter, Landi, together.  “These two are the force behind my success,” he remarks.  “Their support and encouragement has allowed me to fulfill my dreams.”

Professionally, Wade’s greatest achievement is hiring an awesome staff.  He enjoys helping others realize their dreams and calls his employees the “pillars to this business.”  Building lifelong relationships with his customers and his employees makes Wade extremely proud.  In the future, Wade looks forward to continuing to grow his business in Texarkana with the goal of expanding to a second location, too.

Giving back to his community is important to Wade.  R&W has donated time and resources to multiple charities, including the Make-A-Wish Foundation, Texarkana Baptist Children’s Home, and the Salvation Army.  In addition, he has provided necessities for families in need who have been affected by calamities, such as fires and natural disasters.  In his spare time, Wade enjoys fishing, hunting, and playing golf with Landi.
