an idea was born

Mario, the President of PanelBoy Controls has a lifetime of experience in the electronics field. His interest began at just 16 years old, when found himself installing car stereos for his friends and family. Upon completion of high school, Mario pursued the electronics field and received a certificate in Industrial Electronics from the State of Michigan. He began building control panels in 2000. He continued his education at GRCC where he began seeking a degree in Industrial Technology. Upon gaining experience in building control panels, Mario became an excellent troubleshooter in a manufacturing environment. He spent 9 years working for a machine builder in Grand Rapids where he quickly became known as a competent electrician. He spent many weeks on the road installing complex machinery and providing support during the installation and startup. With 13 years of experience, Mario decided to venture out on his own and in February of 2013 Panelboy Controls was formed! Mario and his wife Lesli, have worked tirelessly over the past decade to create a wonderful work environment with outstanding employees that have helped Panelboy blossom into the company it is today!!
