Embracing Change: A Journey in the UVM Industry

Brock Vinson鈥檚 initial plans for college revolved around playing baseball. It wasn鈥檛 until a couple of years later when a friend of his told Vinson about the at Stephen F. Austin State University, that he decided to make the switch and put his bat and gloves down.

Vinson recalls utility vegetation management careers being lightly advertised during career fairs but shares that he didn鈥檛 understand the full scope of the industry until working in the forestry industry for a few years post-graduation.

He found his way to 91成人 in 2015 and has found success along the way. Vinson, who now serves as a senior consulting utility forester II in Texas, was recently selected to participate in the 91成人 Services Honors Program, a multi-day leadership program dedicated to training up-and-coming employees throughout the organization.

Vinson credits his success to the seven individuals he works with daily, sharing 鈥淓verybody on my direct team works well together. I can depend on them, and they know that they can depend on me.鈥�

Often describing his duties as 鈥渙rganized chaos,鈥� Vinson has learned to embrace the ever-changing UVM environment by keeping stress to a minimum, acting on previous experiences, and using his talents to the best of his ability. He explains, 鈥淭here鈥檚 always something new and different to deal with. As soon as you start to expect something, it changes.鈥�

Working in the utility vegetation management industry on a large investor-owned system has given Vinson numerous opportunities to become familiar with different field operations. 鈥淚f you are an operations-minded person, thrive on organized chaos, and like being out in the field, this industry is full of opportunities.鈥�
