Who We Are - Line Brother's Keeper
Biography
Zach began his career with Dickson Electric System (DES) in April 2004, shortly after completing his service as a Nuclear, Biological, and Chemical Defense Specialist in the United States Marine Corps, where he attained the rank of Sergeant. He started as an Apprentice Lineman and advanced to Journeyman Lineman before transitioning into substation operations in 2013.
In 2016, Zach was promoted to Substation Maintenance Supervisor, overseeing the monitoring, maintenance, and operations of eight electrical distribution substations serving more than 38,000 customers.
Today, Zach leverages his extensive experience in the electric utility industry as a Safety Consultant, partnering with organizations to strengthen safety culture, reduce operational risk, and protect the lives of lineworkers in the field.
A devoted husband and father of four, Zach credits both his family and his lineman brotherhood for their support and encouragement throughout his recovery from a life-changing accident.
Our Story
Zach
On August 25, 2017, I was involved in a workplace accident that resulted in second- and third-degree burns from an arc flash caused by a substation breaker. I spent 22 days in the ICU at Vanderbilt’s Trauma Burn Center and underwent multiple surgeries, including skin grafts to my right forearm and eyelids.
Mylinda
As a line wife, you’re always aware of the risks that come with the job. You kiss your lineman goodbye each morning and welcome him home each evening, never truly believing there may come a day he doesn’t return. For me, that reality arrived on August 25, 2017, when Zach suffered severe injuries from an arc flash and faced countless medical procedures. In that moment, I shifted from simply being a wife to becoming his advocate and caregiver, speaking for him when he couldn’t speak for himself. It’s a role no one expects to take on, and it’s especially challenging when you’re trying to stay strong for your children at the same time.
