Partnering for Recovery
Restoring More Than Just Power
It was not on my 2024 bingo card to launch a non profit. It certainly wasn’t my idea to be one of the faces of said non profit.
Hell Or High Water NC has many faces. This is Kevin. We have been friends for a long time, but we don’t see each other or talk much.
Kevin is what I refer to as a “Solid Dude”. If you know me, that is one of the highest compliments I put on people.
Kevin is also an amazing electrician and has a reputation for just making stuff work. He was the perfect guy to partner with in Garren Creek.
I cold called Kevin and told him my crazy plan. We are going to roll into a disaster area full of devastated people and ask random strangers if they want a generator hooked up to their house so they can have hot showers. Easy peasy.
As usual Kevin didn’t even blink. “Where do you need me?”
Solid. Dude.
Our team is more than just fixers. We bring humanity, humor and hugs by the truckload. Kevin is also a pro at this and it’s equally as important. (He also wouldn’t accept a dime from me)
Hell or High Water is made up of a bunch of people like Kevin. That’s why we get things done. While others are making plans and having meetings, we just go.
I love this team. I love what we are doing. We won’t stop until the job is finished, come Hell or High Water.

Minimizing Our Footprint in WNC Through Responsible Practices
We practice what we preach by minimizing our own operational waste and environmental footprint:
- Waste Minimization & Recycling: We prioritize waste minimization through careful material selection. We rigorously sort and separate all recyclable materials—including metals, cardboard, wiring, and all office paper used—transporting them to local recycling facilities to keep waste out of landfills.
- Digital-First Operations: In our office and field operations, we minimize paper use through digital invoicing, cloud-based project management, and electronic reports, significantly reducing administrative waste. Where paper use is unavoidable, we ensure it is collected and recycled properly.
