Faces of the Future, Part 7: Featuring Bryce Zahn of Capital Electric Line Builders

For Part 7 of our Faces of the Future series for the Line Life Podcast, we are featuring Bryce Zahn, an apprentice lineworker for Capital Electric Line Builders. For this episode, he shares his story about restoring power following Hurricane Helene and spending two weeks in North Carolina helping Duke Energy get the lights back on following flooding and mudslides. Bryce describes what it was like to stay in a man camp in a semi with a separate bed space, air conditioning and a sleeping bag after working 16-hour work days.

At the end of the episode, you'll hear from his 10-year-old son, Caleb, who competed with his two brothers in the first annual International Power Line Kids Rodeo, hosted by Missouri Valley JATC and Buckingham Manufacturing. Caleb, who wants to follow in his dad's footsteps and become a lineworker one day, prepared for the event by climbing trees. He said he was happy to have his dad back from storm duty in North Carolina just in time for the International Lineman's Rodeo Week.

Bryce is also featured in our December 2024 Faces of the Future department in T&D World magazine. View our playlist on the Line Life Podcast YouTube channel to listen to other apprentices in our Faces of the Future podcast series.
