| Rob Keegan -
President/Owner
After moving to Simi Valley in 1986,
Rob realized that there was a great opportunity to use his
18 years of experience in Lighting and Electrical Wholesale
to fill a need in Simi Valley. In 1989 he and Betsy opened
Village View Lighting. Using Rob's philosophy of combining
excellent Customer Service, with great pricing, he built
Village View Lighting into the leading Lighting Wholesale
House in Simi Valley. With a combined 172 years of lighting
and electrical experience, Village View Lighting continues
to grow and fulfill the Lighting and Electrical needs of
Simi Valley, the Conejo Valley and beyond. |

| Betsy Keegan -
Vice President/Owner
Betsy started Village View Lighting
in 1989 - not even knowing what a keyless was (while Rob
still had a "real job" in the Electrical Wholesale
Industry). After the 1st year, Village Lighting looked like
it would succeed so Rob joined Betsy (yes, he knew what a
keyless was). Starting in a 900 sq ft building with 2
employees, Village View Lighting has expanded through the
years to a 15,000 sq ft space with 14 employees!
Now Betsy runs the Central Coast Division, starting
with a 1,200 sq ft space - 1 employee and 1 dog (Beatrice). |
