I am confident that with the continued dedication of our team and the trust of our members, Randolph EMC will flourish and light the way to a brighter future for everyone we serve.

My path to this day has been paved with over 30 years of commitment, starting from my early days as a meter reader right after graduating from N.C. State University with aspirations of becoming an electrical engineer. Throughout my journey at Randolph EMC, I have had the privilege of working in various capacities, each offering insights into our operations and the opportunity to work alongside some of our most talented individuals. These experiences have not only shaped my understanding, but have also deepened my appreciation for this organization and its mission.

In my role as CEO, I am committed to leading with transparency, empathy and an unwavering dedication to the communities we serve. Let us step into this next chapter with optimism and a renewed commitment to excellence.

Randolph EMC is more than just a workplace to me. It is a community, a family and a source of hope for those we serve. It is with this sense of connection and purpose that I am driven to lead your cooperative with integrity and a forward-looking vision.

As I take on the responsibilities of CEO, I am deeply honored by the trust placed in me by our board, employees and members. I recognize the considerable responsibilities that accompany this role and am dedicated to upholding the legacy of excellence established by Dale Lambert.

This leadership transition symbolizes the strength and resilience of our cooperative. The transition highlights the collective contributions of every individual within our team—from the linemen who ensure our reliability in the harshest conditions to our office staff who manage our day-to-day operations.

In my role as CEO, I am committed to leading with transparency, empathy and an unwavering dedication to the communities we serve. Together, we will address the challenges of a rapidly changing energy landscape while ensuring that we remain focused on our core mission: to provide reliable, affordable and sustainable energy along with superior service to our members.

In closing, I extend my deepest gratitude to Dale Lambert for his leadership and guidance throughout my time here at Randolph EMC. His legacy is a strong foundation from which we will continue to grow. Let us step into this next chapter with optimism and a renewed commitment to excellence.
