BIO:
Sam Barker has been in the Lighting Industry since 1977 in which he started installing Tube Lighting for Limousine Running Boards resulting in his First Wholesale distribution company that would later famously be known as SEBCO Industries that is still in Orange County after 47 years. 5 Years ago, Sam continued to expand SEBCO by opening another Location outside Ft. Worth Texas and now his Son’s Tim & Sam Barker Jr both have taken over the reins since his retirement.
Sam with SEBCO have participated in Every single IESOC Event for as long as any of us can remember which is why after 5 decades of friendship and support to the IES Orange County section and the Lighting Industry as a whole we are so honored to give Him this much deserved Section Service award.
