Our Mission

Equipping Workers, Building Culture

At AOUS, everything we do begins and ends with people. Our mission is straightforward: equip utility workers with real-world knowledge, proven safety practices, and the confidence to make the right decisions — every day, on every job.

Our work is built around the Safety Circuit Model (The Alpha Omega Model), a philosophy shaped by more than two decades of field, leadership, and storm-response experience. That model centers on five commitments:

1Protecting People
2Identifying Issues Early
3Empowering People to Change
4Continuing Education
5Enabling Right Decisions

We believe safety is more than compliance. It's a culture built one lesson, one decision, and one crew at a time.

Our Vision

Raising the Standard

To raise the standard of training, safety, and workforce readiness across the utility industry by integrating lived field experience with modern instructional design.

We envision a future where workers at every level — apprentice to leadership — have the tools, clarity, support, and mindset to do the job safely and effectively.

Why Our Leadership Matters

Our training is not conceptual or theoretical. It is built on a leadership team that has spent years in the bucket, on the pole, in the storm, and in the classroom.

Their experience across utilities, contractors, education partners, and emergency response shapes every program delivered and every decision made.

The Team

Meet The Leadership

Training grounded in reality, tailored to utility work, and focused on practical, repeatable habits.

Jeremy Adcock

Director of Training & Safety Programs

Jeremy brings a rare combination of field experience, engineering knowledge, instructional excellence, and safety leadership. His career has included engineering and field roles at Lansing Board of Water & Light, work as a Department of Labor–certified Journeyman Lineman, and served as a field engineer advising utilities on work practices and installation quality. At AOUS, Jeremy oversees safety program delivery, continuing education, and the Jackson College Utility Worker Program.

James Rincon

Crew Resource Coordinator

James brings deep operational knowledge with a leadership mindset shaped in distribution, transmission, storm response, and workforce development. He progressed from inside electrician to Journeyman Lineman, serving at multiple utilities and cooperatives. At AOUS, he coordinates emergency storm response, storm contractor administration, fleet management, and blue-sky work, serving as the bridge between field operations, logistics, and readiness.

Sebastian Cassell

Training Manager

Sebastian combines the discipline and teamwork of Marine Corps service with hands-on utility field experience as a Journeyman Lineman. He has built a strong foundation in utility operations and field safety and is known for his calm, mentoring approach to developing apprentices and new lineworkers. At AOUS, Sebastian leads training delivery and supports continuous improvement of instructional programs.

James Myers

General Foreman

James is an ALBAT apprenticeship graduate and Department of Labor–certified Journeyman Lineman with sub-transmission and multi-state field experience. At AOUS, he leads crews in the field as General Foreman, bringing hands-on linework expertise and a safety-first standard to every job.

Corey Brewer

Training Manager

Corey brings 30 years of experience in the electrical field, with a career defined by deliberate progression and a drive to keep growing in the trade. He began in 1996, moved into utility work as an Electrician in 2008, and earned his Journeyman Lineman certification in 2019 — a goal he pursued on his own initiative to take on greater challenges in the field. At AOUS, Corey brings decades of hands-on linework experience and a ground-level perspective to developing utility workers who are prepared for the realities of the job.

How Our Experience Becomes Your Advantage

Training that Connects

Crews learn from people who have done the work, in the same environments and under the same pressures, so lessons feel real and stick in the field.

Safety as Culture

Training goes beyond rules and checklists to focus on judgment, awareness, and responsibility, so safe choices become habits, not exceptions.

Decisions that Protect

Through the Safety Circuit Model, workers practice identifying hazards early, understanding tradeoffs, and choosing actions that protect both crews and infrastructure.

Future Ready Workforce

From high school programs to storm-readiness, the same experience that built today’s leaders is used to build the next generation.
