Willie Shutter is the CEO and Founder of Tramp GPS, dedicating his focus full-time to leading the company after a prominent executive career across the high-voltage utility sector. Bringing 18 years of high-stakes experience as an active lineman, Willie’s deep field foundation includes completing three separate, rigorous apprenticeships before transitioning into enterprise leadership and global emergency response.

Beyond his corporate oversight, Willie spent seven years specializing exclusively in large-scale, international power restoration projects, managing complex grid recovery operations across the United States, the Virgin Islands, and the Philippines. A passionate advocate for the trade, he is a prominent author on Storm Resource Logistics and a champion for the Lineman Legacy Act, pushing for lineworkers to be officially recognized as emergency first responders. As full-time CEO, Willie channels this unique matrix of corporate mastery and real-world field expertise into Tramp GPS, turning the logistics of storm-chasing, dispatch, and communication into a seamless digital ecosystem for the modern tradesperson.
