Biography
Zach began his career at Dickson Electric System (DES) in April 2004, following his time as a Nuclear Biological Chemical Defense Specialist in the United States Marine Corps. He completed his service in March 2004, having achieved the rank of Sergeant, and then started working as an Apprentice Lineman for DES. Over the years, Zach progressed to the role of Journeyman Lineman and, in 2013, transitioned to substation work.
In 2016, he became the Substation Maintenance Supervisor, responsible for overseeing the monitoring, maintenance, and overall operations of eight electrical distribution substations that serve 35,000 customers across Middle Tennessee.
Zach is a devoted family man, sharing four children with his wife. Both his home and work families have been a significant source of support and strength as he has navigated 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.

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.
