Glen Cock has spent most of a forty-five year career in the electrical utility industry as an engineer and manager of energy distribution and corporate administration. For thirty of those years he was instrumental in establishing and administrating the national codes and standards by which this industry in regulated.

Mr. Cock served on National committees of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), the Edison Electric Institute (EEI) and The Southeastern Electric Exchange (SEE). Through those organizations he served on and chaired various panels, committees and sub-committees charged with the responsibility and the authority for code making and modification of the National Electrical Safety Code (NESC) and the National Electrical Code (NEC).

In addition to his extensive national code experience, Glen Cock worked through Federal, State and local government to organize and standardize both the legislative and the voluntary rules through which utilities of all types govern the placement of their facilities in public rights-of-way. He was instrumental in establishing the Florida Utilities Accommodation Guide and a regional one-call utility notification organization. He worked through the Department of Transportation and other agencies to establish regulations governing all aspects of right-of-way utilization. In the area of Joint Use between Electric Utilities and Communications Companies, Mr. Cock has thirty-five years of hands-on experience in negotiating and administrating contracts, including the responsibility for testimony before the Federal Communications Commission, and County, State and Federal Courts. His work with national committees resulted in a standard for cost and space allocation for the accommodation of multiple utilities on a single structure or in a common trench.

Glen Cock is a Registered Professional Engineer and a member of the National Society of Professional Engineers and the Florida Engineering Society. He is a former United States Air force pilot and an electrical engineering graduate of the Virginia Military Institute.
