Throughout his 45 years at TDS, Scheunemann impacted the company in many ways through his leadership, dedicated work ethic, and unwavering loyalty. An active and positive member of his community, Scheunemann also served as a volunteer firefighter for 33 years and a member of the Vesper Village Board for 12 years. He has lived in Vesper his entire life.

“Kevin has been such a great leader for us and truly understands what it takes to serve our customers through technological advances,” TDS Director of Field Services Lynette Maynes said. “Kevin has an unwavering commitment to TDS, our network, and our customers.  We are lucky to have him as part of our team and consider him a valued leader.”

Currently, Scheunemann is expanding his role as Field Services Manager for Medford and other surrounding communities in addition to the area he now services. Scheunemann will oversee this transition before turning his attention to another phase of life where he plans to spend more time with his wife, children, and grandchildren in Vesper.
