Welcome to 2022! It has been quite an interesting two years since the beginning of the pandemic. Still, here at FreeState, we’re gearing up for a year of transition of leadership and setting our goals internally to make sure we exceed our members’ expectations in providing quality member service and reliable power that is safe and affordable. It’s what we do and what we will continue to do.

I wanted to take this opportunity to introduce myself and assure you that the transition to new leadership is one that we have been working on for months, and things have been going well. For members, it will be business as usual for each of you. For staff, we are working towards making a positive impact within the communities we serve.

Leading FreeState is an opportunity I am humble and grateful to have. I am thankful for the past nine years of mentorship from retiring CEO Steve Foss. I want to thank the board of trustees for putting their trust in my abilities, the management, and staff for continuing to reach for, set, and obtain their goals for providing each member with the service they come to expect and deserve. And last but not least, my family. I’d like to thank my wife and two boys for their support as we make this transition to new responsibilities.

I want members to know that FreeState is not just a power provider but a trusted energy partner. We’re here to answer questions, provide information, and power not only your homes and businesses but your communities as well. This would include opportunities for our members looking into renewable options to electric vehicles. I look forward to seeing where 2022 and beyond take this cooperative and how we can continue to rise to meet the challenges of our ever-changing industry.  I sincerely look forward to serving you.
