Mike Mills, vice president of operations, has been an employee of SYEMC since 2005. Prior to his current role, Mills served as the company’s crew foreman, lead lineman, manager of operations and director of operations. Having made the move to SYEMC from Pike Electric in an effort to spend more time with his family, he quickly gained an additional family in his co-workers at SYEMC.
“My favorite thing about my job is having the pleasure to represent all of my fellow employees and help provide reliable service to our members,” said Mills. "I embrace the evolution of the electric industry along with the safety protocols to ensure our fellow employees make it home to their families."
Originally from Beckley, WV, Mills is a graduate of Independence High School. Once he completed school, he received certifications in the coal mine industry, managed a horse ranch, and worked for a veterinarian before choosing a career in the field he presently serves.
Mills married his wife, Charman, in 2013, and the two have five children, Austin, Dakota, Bryson, Wyatt and Jessica, and four grandkids. They also have a Yorkie named Tripp. He enjoys camping with his wife on the New River, small mouth bass fishing and spending time at their cabin in the mountains. Mills also enjoys smoking meats like ribs, brisket and BBQ, and riding motorcycles with his dad.
