Where Are They Now? Kemper Hill, a 2004 DCLA graduate, has built a career grounded in hard work and leadership. After high school, he attended the OSU Institute of Technology in Okmulgee, where he studied high-voltage electricity and began his path in the electrical utility industry. Kemper earned his journeyman lineman certification at Kay Electric Cooperative, then joined Mid-Con Electric in 2018 as a lead lineman. His strong work ethic and commitment quickly advanced him to Manager of Field Operations at MC Storm, where he now leads storm crews nationwide and helps train future linemen. Outside of work, Kemper is married to Stephanie and is a proud dad to Karter and two stepchildren. He balances his time between farming, coaching Karter’s baseball team, and supporting his family. His motto—“Give 100% all the time—no exceptions”—is reflected in every area of his life. We’re proud to celebrate Kemper Hill’s accomplishments and continued connection to DCLA. #ThrowbackThursday #DCLAAlumniSpotlight
