The Professor Is In
That’s right, we have a professor working with us now—meet John Simmons.
John is an Electrical Engineer (Purdue, not Iowa State!) that is helping us with arc flash projects. John has extensive experience in the utility world, and most enjoys design and estimating.
So where does the ‘Professor’ title come in? Well, John has a PhD in Business Administration, and is an Adjunct Professor at St. Ambrose University.
John lives in Muscatine with his wife and youngest son. His older boy manages Culvers in Muscatine, and his youngest is a junior at Muscatine HS, and loves math and science.
The Simmons enjoys traveling, and their son has a goal to visit a zoo in every state. Last year they did the 3C’s tour, you know, Cleveland, Canton, and Columbus. And they enjoy college campuses and the museums they have to offer. John’s favorite trip was to Hawaii— wouldn’t that feel nice right about now!
John is a gardener—a big gardener. His garden had 40 tomato plants alone! That’s a lot of tomatoes! They grow and process their vegetables for home consumption and to give away.
If you like 70’s and 80’s rock, then you enjoy the music that John enjoys.
Stop by and introduce yourself to John. He’s in the office next to Jimmy Skadal. And if you want to take a test for some reason, the professor can probably take care of that urge.
