"Randy Stebbins did not join the power industry by earning an electrical engineering degree.

Now he is technical director for S.D. Myers, Inc. in Ohio, which provides analytical and consulting services for electric equipment owners throughout the United States and overseas. Stebbins is responsible for all technical aspects of the company’s oil testing, evaluation and consulting, and chemistry related activities.
