  Curtis was my foreman for about 5 months. I went on storm with him after Irma hit Florida. He worked us to death but he always put us first. I learned a lot from him during those 5 months.

  This career fell into my lap out of desperation and urgency to find work that made me worthy to be a husband and father. I never thought I'd have a job that I'd look forward to everyday. The challenge, the endless learning and problem solving, the shit talk with the guys, the comradery, the storms, even down to the most chaotic moments - I love each waking moment.

  1972 my dad started working for PG&E, 40 years later as he retired my brother followed. I was fortunate and unfortunate to walk a blue line. The utmost fucking respect given for the guys I work along side for energy and gas.

  My son is a Lineman here in North Carolina and I could not be more prouder. Everyday when he walks out the door we say I Love You and I tell him to be safe. Not only from the idiots on the road but what he does every single day. God Bless You All.

  I grew up a LineMens Son and very proud of it. I learned a lot about working as a LineMen climbed my first pole at 9 years old in the pouring rain.

  Quick review:  Curtis is a highly trained, and hard working man man who loves his dad and family and believes and trusts in Our Lord, America and loyalty to his brothers.  Benchmark is an American owned company that puts people first, quality first and safety first and all else second.  Together they keep America and American's working safely and that is what it's all about.  I did not know that 5 foot could be so tall.  You, Curtis, are a giant in my eyes.  Rock on - and stay safe.  All best to you and your brothers.

  Good video Curtis! Retired lineman here in NC.....45 years. We came to TX after Hurricane Rita in 2005. First thing I learned about Texas was the difference in there and NC. Here, it gets dark and cools off. In Texas, it just gets dark! 🥵 We worked for AEP in a town called Silsbee, TX. The only town in the USA with that name. Stay safe brother, and take care of your guys! 👍
