How does your job fit into the overall Cooperative business? 
For the past 10 years, I have served as your Forester, providing technical and educational assistance on the importance of tree care activities. Activities such as tree pruning, tree selection, use of innovative technologies, and more to reduce outage restoration times. This increases the life of the Cooperative electrical system all while saving you money.

Talk about something that many members/employees might not know about your job. 
Each year, about half of all electrical outages are caused by trees or other vegetation impacting the Cooperative’s electrical infrastructure. My job as your Forester is to minimize these impacts so we can provide safe, reliable, electrical service to our members.

What is one story about your life that can help people remember you?
Before joining the Cooperative, I worked as Smokey the Bear for the Delaware Forest Service. My career as this lovable character took me from schools to minor league baseball games promoting the importance of fire safety.

If you would like to learn more about the Cooperative’s Forestry Program or have a specific question regarding trees and  how they impact your electrical service, please visit the Cooperative’s website or you may contact me at 410-479-8557.
