Experienced leadership. A growing team.

John has spent more than 25 years in power distribution — operating it, designing it, and commissioning it. He began as a power distribution reliability engineer at Hemlock Semiconductor, responsible for a 400 MW plant system with more than 100 substations, and served as startup engineer on plant expansions worth more than $2 billion combined.

He then joined Fayetteville PWC as a substation engineer, supervising construction and commissioning of two new substations, before spending nine years as a senior project engineer at Booth & Associates designing substations from 230 kV down to 4.16 kV, setting and programming relays, commissioning new stations, and designing solar farm interconnections.

John launched his own substation practice in 2021. Clients know him for keeping them informed at every stage — and junior engineers know him for his mentoring.

Byron brings more than 15 years in power systems, spanning substation engineering, protection and control, and advanced control system integration. He has led projects from traditional utility substations to renewable and storage integration — developing Ignition SCADA interfaces, programming SEL RTACs, and building PSCAD models for analysis and commissioning.

His work includes a calendar-based dispatch scheduler for utility-scale Tesla and NEC battery systems, a custom RTAC algorithm that detects power oscillations at a solar farm and ramps the plant down before it goes unstable, and integrating a propane generator, Tesla Megapack, and site controllers into a working microgrid.

Byron is just as comfortable in the field — commissioning, troubleshooting, supervising switching, and witnessing factory acceptance tests — and as a certified PMP he keeps complex projects on scope and on schedule.
