Jim Milliken Email & Phone Number

I began my career in this great industry answering an ad in the paper, "Now hiring technicians. No experience necessary. Will train." From there, life has been a whirlwind. Over the last 20+ years I've had the opportunity to work in several different cable systems for major MSOs. I worked my way through the ranks, learning at each level and improving my skill set as I progressed. In 2015, my system was selected as my company's System of the Year based on overall system performance. As the Technical Operations Supervisor for this cable plant, I worked very hard for my customers and I am very proud to have led my team to receiving this honor. However, the most treasured award from 2015 wasn't presented to me. Instead, it was presented to one of my technicians, who won the MSO's Technician of the Year. Always “Train the next generation to be better than you" is a motto I stand by, live by, and teach.In 2016, I moved back to my home state of Louisiana. As a Technical Operations Manager, I supported 6 supervisors and 28 technicians. The responsibilities were different than they were 17 years ago, but my passion for this industry has never changed.In 2018, I was promoted to Regional Engineer. I literally felt like I took “the red pill” from the Matrix movie. My eyes were opened to a whole new way of looking at things and it has been an adventure each day. I found my calling in the Engineering world. I’m a very lucky man to truly enjoy what I do for a living.
