Kelvin Boyd works for EPB here in Chattanooga.

He was hired as a fiber optic technician - one of the first to install fiber in this city.

Now, he’s on the marketing side - and for the past few years in the Hamilton County Schools, he has been known as Professor Gig-A-Watt, giving presentations to thousands of students before the pandemic hit.

We talked about that - and his connection with the Arts-Based Collaborative on our UTC campus, abc@utc.
