People Behind the Power: Casey Richards
August 14, 2026
Meet Casey, one of our Transmission Forestry Specialists!
Casey oversees vegetation planning and maintenance across more than 300 miles of transmission lines. His work not only helps keep the power system reliable but also creates habitats where pollinators can find food and shelter. He loves the parts of his job that allow him to be outdoors.
“I appreciate that my work allows me to spend time outdoors doing things I enjoy — often needing to hike through our territory.”
Thank you, Casey, for supporting both our infrastructure and the environment!
Fun facts about Casey:
- Grand Teton Nation Park is the best place he’s ever visited
- His favorite hobbies are fishing, kayaking and hiking
- If he could have any animal as a pet, it would be a skunk. He would like to make it a family tradition – his dad had a pet skunk named Hoover.
