Huntsville journeyman honored as Saints Lineman of the Game

11/26/2024

Entergy Texas journeyman serviceman Lupe Vallejo will step into the spotlight as Entergy Texas' Lineman of the Game during the New Orleans Saints vs. Los Angeles Rams game on Dec. 1 at the Caesars Superdome. The recognition program, a collaboration between Entergy and the Saints, honors line and pipe workers who demonstrate excellent job performance, commitment to safety, and meaningful community impact.

A native of New Waverly, Texas, Vallejo has spent 22 years with Entergy Texas, rising from a contract meter reader to journeyman serviceman at the Huntsville service center. Known for his expertise and work ethic, Vallejo plays a key role in maintaining the electrical grid and building relationships with customers.

"Lupe has proven to be a valuable asset to the network with his many years of experience, knowledge, safety record, and great work ethic," said Rigoberto Martinez, utility foreman and Lupe's supervisor.

Vallejo credits his career growth to Entergy. He is especially proud of his work during storm restoration efforts, helping to restore power after hurricanes and other severe weather events.

"The most rewarding part of my job is bringing the lights back on when customers need it most," said Vallejo. "Entergy Texas has given me the opportunity to build a career, support my family, and serve my community."

When not on the job, Vallejo enjoys spending time with his family and cheering on his kids at their sporting events. On Dec. 1, he'll bring that same energy to the field, hyping up Saints fans as part of this game-day tradition.
