Bob Shurtleff

Manager of External Affairs and Economic Development

I’m in my third decade of service to this region at AEP, and I’ve served in a number of technical and management positions with an increasing scope of responsibilities, including line mechanic, team leader, distribution line supervisor, supervisor of distribution services, and technician supervisor.
As the manager of distribution services for Kentucky Power’s Pikeville Service District, I oversaw all electricity distribution operations for customers in Pike, Floyd, Knott, Martin, Johnson, Morgan and Magoffin counties in eastern Kentucky. I also oversaw the district’s customer services, marketing, community affairs and safety functions.
I earned a bachelor’s degree from the University of Kentucky and played for the Wildcat football team.
