Nordt has been with the PUD since 2004 and brings over 20 years of experience in the Northwest energy industry. Accepting the position Nordt shared, “I am excited about where we are heading as a utility and look forward to building upon the momentum established by my co-workers.”
Nordt is a native of New York and holds a bachelor’s degree in mathematical physics from St. John's University, a master’s degree in nuclear engineering from the University of Wisconsin and additional graduate work in computational finance at Oregon Graduate Institute.
