Jeff DeCaito
Founding Principal
Jeff has been working with lighting and controls since the early 2000’s, when he worked on energy rebate projects for an ESCO while earning a degree from New Jersey City University in 2004. Passionate about sports, he played baseball for both Sacred Heart University and NJCU during his college career before landing positions with the New Jersey Nets and Chicago Cubs organizations. Jeff then went on to start his own MLB certified agency representing top young talent in baseball, where he gained experience in contract negotiations and business operations before returning full-time back into lighting.
While transitioning back into the industry, Jeff held a job with a top distributor in New Jersey working alongside contractors to secure and manage lighting projects for Macy’s and other major accounts. Before co-founding City Lighting, Jeff was running day-to-day operations and managing key distributor and end-user accounts for The Lighting Group. Experiencing various aspects of the lighting business over the years has given Jeff a deep understanding of the industry and taught him how to maintain strong relationships with consistent, reliable service.
