A devoted husband and father of four, Zach credits both his family and his lineman brotherhood for their unwavering support and encouragement throughout his recovery from a life-changing accident.
Our Story
Zach
On August 25, 2017, I experienced an accident at work 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 Trauma Burn Center and underwent several surgeries, including skin grafts on my right forearm and eyelids.
Mylinda
As a line wife, you are always aware of the potential dangers of the job. You kiss your lineman goodbye each morning and welcome him back home in the evening, never thinking that he might not return. However, on August 25, 2017, I was confronted with that harsh reality. Zach sustained serious injuries from an arc flash and went through countless procedures. I transitioned from being just a wife to becoming an advocate and caretaker for my husband. Someone had to speak on his behalf when he couldn't. It's a challenging position to be in, especially with kids at home.
