Ian Hoppe
Founder of Condoit
Ian Hoppe, founder of Condoit, started in the electrician trade as an apprentice in his early teens and fell in love with all of it – the effort of high-quality installation, and the meticulous art of record keeping and analysis. Soon after high school, Ian traveled the country, working in heavy commercial and industrial environments being a part of everything from maintaining oil rigs in the Gulf of Mexico to out-of-the-ground new construction for a major grocery chain. Eventually, he returned to his hometown of Birmingham and began working for an electrical engineering firm. Eventually, his entrepreneurial spirit surfaced as he assessed countless installation designs and realized there was a niche in the commercial electrician space, leading him to start Condoit.
