John Beck began his career at the Cooperative in July 2005 as a Meter Reader. He held that role for 13 years before transitioning to an Operations Technician I, where he remained until his retirement in September 2025.

In his role as a Meter Reader, John had many responsibilities, including locating meters, ensuring they are accurate and recording readings. 

In his role as Operations Technician I, he reached out to members with delinquent accounts, worked with them one-on-one to avoid service interruptions and sometimes collected payments. 

John’s advice to any new employee is: “Meeting people every day is a learning experience. Be willing to learn. Be flexible.” Every day, he learned something new from the people he met. 

We thank John for his years of service and wish him well as he begins this exciting new chapter!
