Bucking The Trend: The Story of Buck Autrey and Miller Electric Company

Buck Autrey doesn't believe in giving up. Nor does the word "failure" enter his vocabulary. That kind of thinking turned a nearly bankrupt business into one of the largest and most respected electrical contracting companies in America today.

Since 1966, Buck has navigated Miller Electric through major recessions, feisty unions, stiff competition, and a fast-changing industry. As the electrical industry's stabilizing force during a Justice Department investigation, he literally changed the way the industry does business--no small accomplishment for one starting out as an employee at a roller skating rink.

What are the ingredients of this man's success? Trust, commitment, integrity, hard work. These, along with Buck's genuine care for others and a deep knowledge of the business are his legacy ... universal ingredients for success. One might add he also had a lot of fun along the way.
