About Us
The Page Electric Story
Wendy Page was raised in Woodbine (Flat Rock for the old school Nashville residents) until she moved to Antioch as a teenager with her family. That's where her father, Charlie Bly, began his own electrical contracting company.
Her grandfather, Jim Fisher, was the owner of Jim Fisher Electric Company and that's where Charlie got his start as an electrician. Under Jim Fisher's guidance Charlie became a Master Electrician completing ABC Apprenticeship School and obtaining state licensing to own his own company. That's when Captain Bly Electric was born.
Jim Fisher eventually became a State Electrical Inspector and worked in that role until 2015 when he died unexpectedly. Charlie always said Wendy started doing electrical work as soon as she could walk, which is almost true since she started wiring houses at the age of eleven.
Wendy didn't mind hard work and actually loved getting her hands dirty until the day she crawled under JD Biggs' house in Eagleville and frogs from his pond jumped up by the hundreds while she was in the muddy crawlspace. The definition of heebie-jeebies became clear that day.
Wendy also has several uncles (Steve Fisher & Jerry Rush), several cousins (Donan, Shane, Scottie, Brian, Ricky) who all have worked as electricians. Wendy's Dad loved giving the younger generation family members a good lesson in the trade that would last them for a lifetime and teach them to be good workers with good character. Charlie, Jim, Steve and Jerry have all passed on from this life and are surely looking down with great pride at their legacy.
Wendy's first job outside of residential electrical work was when she went to work at Kroger on Mt View Road in Antioch when she was fifteen. It was there that she met Danny Page. It was a whirlwind bound by destiny. They would learn later on all the times their paths had crossed, from the same street as children (his babysitter, her grandmother), to the same UNA ballgames for many years, to the little church Danny attended just two buildings over from the house where Wendy grew up, which is also the same house Jim Fisher Electric Company was started in.
The Page Electric story was meant to be but it was Kroger that became ground zero of the story. They married 6 months later at the age of 18 and the Page story continues today.
Danny's father owned Elec-Tech Electrical Services. He went through the IBEW Apprenticeship program and Danny followed in his father's footsteps completing the same program.
When Danny and Wendy got married in October 1993, Danny was in his first year of apprenticeship school and Wendy was a department manager at Kroger. She had quickly moved her way up through the ranks at Kroger until she became pregnant and had to take time off. After the birth of their first child Wendy decided to go back to work with her father at Captain Bly Electrical. She worked there for the next 4 years, until the birth of their second child.
Fast forward a lot of years and 6 children, some extra children, drama, trauma, jobs, life experience, mistakes, major moves, almost divorces, the fall of Elec-Tech, the death of Wendy's father, and all the sad, wonderful, exhausting, trying, happy, terrible things... and here we are.
We are a rich family history with knowledge of all things electrical and all things Nashville. With a fantastic human, Charlie Bly, that loved to teach every chance he got, as the wind in our sails... we are doing this for ourselves and for our children. We hope with the mistakes we learned from our fathers and the focus on teaching the next generation how to have great customer service skills, be a good and kind human, and how to do business well, we will do well. We have many children either birthed, adopted, or married in. We intend to leave them generational wealth and knowledge with an upstanding, reputable, reliable business that specializes in electrical excellence with old school customer service skills we learned back in the 1900s.
