This month’s spotlight features APM Fossil Steam Project Superintendent, Mark Redden! Mark was led to this industry when he transitioned from active duty in the United States Marine Corps to civilian life and needed to find employment to support him and his wife. His late father-in-law, Kyle Ruggles, was a Union Millwright and longtime APM employee, so he suggested joining the Millwrights through the Helmets to Hard Hat program, which had just recently been started at that time. He joined the Millwrights in April of 2007. His second millwright job and first job with APM was working for superintendent Mark Angel at the former DP&L power plant Killen Electric Generating Station on a valve outage. Mark have been working solely for APM ever since that time going on 18 years in April of 2025! At work, Mark is a Journeyman Millwright, Certified Mechanic, Subject Matter Expert, and Superintendent. Outside of work, he is a Husband, Father, Veteran, and Volunteer Fire Fighter. We are so excited to spotlight Mark!
