Ryan J.

Ryan's hardwork at getting the Windows 11 and Vulnerability Management projects running.   He has done a tremendous amount of work on making sure the upgrades go as smoothly as possible.   I really appreciate his hard work.

Elmer C

Elmer has many items on his plate that are complicated and need a attention to detail that he is very good at doing. He does a great job of handling these behind the scenes activities that keep us running smoothly and safely.

Evelynne L.

Evelynne is the GOAT! 🐐 She helped me on the spot with website reformatting that I needed to do for our AI site. Other folks were out of office, and even though this wasn't something she was responsible for, she was willing to stop what she was doing so I could get everything formatted correctly. She's always kind, professional, and a delight to speak with. Thanks so much, Evelynne! I'm so glad you're a part of our team.
