Blingle Of Portland Owner

Thanks for checking out Blingle! and all of our unique services. I’m Alex. I handle the management and operations for the Portland area, and we’re excited to serve your home, business and events. Although I’ve only been a part of the community for a short amount of time, I’ve been blown away by the warm welcome I’ve received and truly feel as though I’ve found my forever home in Maine. A little bit about me: I graduated from West Point Military Academy in New York and served as an Infantry Officer for over ten years. I’ve completed multiple tours in Afghanistan and Syria as a Company Commander and have received a Bronze Star and a Purple Heart throughout my deployment. I’ve always been passionate about military operations and still serve as a National Guard Captain and teach Officer Candidate classes on the weekends. Blingle! has given me an opportunity to contribute to building a community. Events bring people together, businesses have a chance to elevate their professional presence, and homes become more inviting. If you ever have any questions about our services or what we can do for you, don’t hesitate to reach out by giving us a call or filling out our contact form.

Alex Larrabee

Operations Manager
Hey there! My name is Al, and I am the operations manager/lead technician at Blingle! 113 in Portland, ME. I have been doing low voltage electrical and control systems for the last 8 years. I started out when I was 20 years old as a fire alarm inspector and worked my way up to commercial installer at Protection1 and then moved onto Johnson Controls as a fire alarm service technician. I left Johnson Controls to pursue my dream of traveling, and converted an old ambulance into a tiny home and traveled the country with my fiancé. I came back to Maine about a year and a half ago where I worked for another fire alarm company as a lead tech before being offered my position here at Blingle in October. I enjoy hiking and the outdoors, helping those in need, and anything that can give me an adrenaline rush!
