Jean-Claude Calabro has also been a finalist of the Université de Montréal business program’s Entrepreneur of the Year award. A second-generation electrician, he started his agency in 1995. Calabro is certified by IESNA (Illuminating Engineering Society of North America) and is LC (Lighting Certified) with NCQLP (National Council on Qualification for the Lighting Professions), one of the few people in North America with this accreditation.
