What is the best thing about your job?

The best thing about my job is my co-workers and the job responsibility variety.

What has been one of your proudest moments working at Price Electric?

I enjoyed fulfilling a support role in service after the Derecho hit. Here comes the storm, and people must come together as a team to figure out how to get people up and running with their electricity and what we can do as a company. When asked to help, I said, tell me what to do.

It was a lot of fun learning more about the service side and interacting with the whole crew from that side. I learned more about the system. I know I was helping. I enjoy being a helper.

You could tell that everyone was thankful in our community. They were thrilled to get a prompt call back after they left a message. They were grateful that they were going to be helped.

If you could pick one theme for Price Electric to turn into a book about the company, what would it be?

So many fun things are said around here, and the conversations afterward. Putting together a coffee table book with all the funny quotes would be fun. I laugh here every day, at least one hard laugh a day, just because everyone is fun! That is like the number one thing here, the people!

Do you have a favorite motto or quote?

Get’r done!

Where is your hometown?

Rapid River, in the upper peninsula of Michigan, I am a Yooper!

What is one thing that you cannot resist?

Regular potato chips and French onion dip.

What has been your favorite project at Price Electric, and why?

I enjoy any project that helps free up the project managers’ workload so they can focus on higher-priority items.
