When asked what he enjoys the most about working at MKC Joe said, “the energy industry is a constantly changing environment that always presents a challenge. Every customer is a new opportunity to learn. I love our ability to think outside of the box and present solutions other cooperatives likely wouldn’t consider or be capable of. We may not always have the best answer right out of the gate, but we will always find it.”
