Bay Power San Jose

Harry Richards

General Manager, San Jose

Harry's experience in the industry dates all the way back to 1976 when he got a job working in the warehouse for an electrical supplier. He worked his way to counter sales and eventually into inside sales before moving on to another electrical supplier in the early 80's. He spent the next decade focused on inside and outside sales for the new, used and obsolete electrical distribution market.

In 1991 Harry started his own supply company, West Coast Power, which offered a lot of the same products and solutions that he spent the previous 15 years mastering. He continued that business for 20 years before deciding to merge with Bay Breakers Inc, now known as Bay Power.

Harry is the General Manager at Bay Power's San Jose location, the company's headquarters, where he leads multiple departments and is usually involved in most of the larger motor control builds for customers, where his 40+ years of experience shines through.

When Harry isn't building electrical systems, you can probably find him in the garage working on an old vintage Chevy. He has restored several classics from the 50's and 60's and also spends a great deal of time outdoors boating and water skiing. Don't be surprised to run into him at the golf course either.
