A Few Words from Zach

“In the nearly three years I've been with EKN, I’ve grown both professionally and personally. EKN was the first company to recognize my potential and provided an environment where I could test my capabilities. The company’s growth since I joined reflects the direction we are heading, benefiting utilities and their customers. I’m especially thankful to my manager, Daniel Stockton, PMP , and my team members for their support and guidance during my transition from EMT to project management.”
