If you ask Kevin Bornhoft to find a location in Corn Belt Power’s service territory, you won’t have to wait long. To those who know him, it doesn’t come as a surprise, as Bornhoft has spent the last 43 years serving member-cooperatives in Corn Belt Power’s engineering and system operations department. Bornhoft is set to retire as vice president, system operations and engineering in late March.
When Bornhoft started at Corn Belt Power on June 1, 1981 as a draftsman, he was just 20 years old, fresh out of college with an associate’s degree in mechanical engineering. He wasn’t married, didn’t have any kids, but was ready to go to work.
It's exceedingly rare to see someone spend their entire career at one organization. For Bornhoft, it was easy.
“I just love the people and have always had challenges here,” he said. “I’ve been treated so well. I really enjoy working with our employees, board and managers group," he said.
