When you scroll our page, you’ve probably seen Klondike mentioned—but do you know how it all began? ⚡️
Meet Gordy 👷♂️—former lineman and Georgia Power retiree—whose legacy of service, leadership, and training helped shape generations of linemen across Georgia. After joining the National Guard 🇺🇸 at 18, Gordy began his Georgia Power career in 1979 in Substation Construction. 🏗️ He moved to Distribution in 1980, working his way up to lineman by 1984. 💪 Along the way, he discovered something special: a passion for training and developing apprentices.
That passion led him to Klondike in 1998 as a Methods & Training Specialist, where he later advanced to Training Coordinator and eventually Distribution Training Supervisor. 📚⚙️ During his time at Klondike, Gordy helped create impactful programs like the Lineman Development Program, Electrical Lineworker Apprentice Certificate, and an Underground System Safety Program—leaving a lasting mark before retiring in 2025. 👏
His influence lives on at Klondike and across Georgia. Thank you, Gordy, for building the future—one lineman at a time 🔌⚡️
