Tracy and I have been blessed with nine grandchildren, each with unique personalities, talents and perspectives. It is a joy to be part of their lives and lifting them up as they grow.
Almost everything we accomplish in life is the product of support and encouragement from others…family, friends, community. From our parents’ guidance during childhood, to the efforts of teachers, coaches, mentors and spiritual leaders…it’s easy to see how almost everything we become is built on the shoulders of others.
Nine decades ago, TVA arose as a force for good. To lift up a struggling region of our nation. TVA’s very foundation is built upon a strong mission to benefit the public good. It’s a mission that has stood the test of time.
Today, the challenges are different yet no less critical to the communities we serve.
At TVA, our strength lies in our collective power. And that power comes
from the unique experiences, perspectives and knowledge each individual brings to the table

Building the Future…
Through Innovation
We recognize TVA’s unique position and responsibility to lead in developing solutions that will deliver a carbon-free energy future. We cannot meet the energy needs of tomorrow by making small changes to today’s power system. It
will require innovation, collaboration and pushing TVA, the industry and the nation to go further, and faster to make our vision for tomorrow a reality.
