third-generation entergy arkansas employee to be honored as lineman of the game
11/13/2024
even at a young age, andy frugé knew he wanted to work for entergy. frugé grew up watching his father and grandfather work for the company and says they were his inspiration.
“even though neither of them worked as a lineman, they definitely inspired me to join the entergy team,” said frugé, who is now a journeyman lineman at entergy arkansas. “i definitely looked up to the line crews and knew i wanted to point my career in that trajectory.”
frugé started working at entergy in meter services when he was 18 years old.. he then began his lineman apprenticeship at entergy texas in the huntsville network. today, he works as a journeyman line worker for entergy arkansas in the conway network and has been with the company for 11 years.
“andy works extremely hard to please customers and makes his position look easy,” said heath holland, entergy arkansas line supervisor for the conway network. “he takes great pride in his work and strives to make his work area the best it can be. we are so proud to have andy here at entergy arkansas and in the conway network.”
“it is a fun and challenging career,” said frugé. “it takes true dedication and mental strength to press forward and restore power, no matter the time, weather or conditions. i thoroughly enjoy serving my community by restoring power after a storm.”
frugé says his most memorable working moment so far happened last year, when an ef3 tornado ripped through little rock on march 31. while working on the power restoration, his wife went into labor with their first child.
“behind every great lineman is an outstanding woman who supports him,” said frugé. “i try to spend all my free time with my family, striving to be the best dad i can be.” he and his wife stephanie live in conway with their daughter, evelyn, who is now one-and-a-half years old.
frugé is being recognized for his outstanding work ethic and dedication by the entergy arkansas leadership team. as a way of honoring our line workers and all they do for our company and our customers, entergy selects a few each football season to be recognized as a “lineman of the game” at new orleans saints’ home games. frugé will be entergy’s lineman of the game on sunday, nov.17 featuring the new orleans saints and cleveland browns.
the lineman of the game helps power the stadium to get the crowd going for all the saints’ home games. the well-deserving entergy lineman will be treated to a vip experience, with on-field access and a special recognition before the game.
entergy arkansas is proud of andy frugé for representing all our hardworking line workers!
