I like that I get to work closely with the management team.My supervisors trust me to work independently, but I feel like I can ask for support when needed. I see myself growing professionally both in my career path and as an all-around worker at Nortec.

I was a property damage adjuster for a marine insurance company.

How are you spending your free time these days?
I like to stay in shape if I can.If the weather is nice outside, I take advantage with a little jog or walk. I’m fond of hands-on activities, from building my own PC to working on model kits.

I am looking forward to being able to go out to eat at restaurants again and just to get out of the house and travel. I’m relatively new to the area, and Northern Virginia and DC offered a lot of interesting places to explore and new experiences. I hope to get back out there and support local businesses and the community.

Case Study: Heightened Security and Additional Resources for a Fraction of the Cost of Internal IT

When SIA’s internal IT director took another position, we became their managed IT provider almost overnight. For approximately 55% of what they paid for internal IT, SIA accesses a full team of strategic, dedicated experts instead of relying on the limited expertise of one staff member.

“SIA’s [KL1] engagement with Nortec has had a very positive impact upon our operations. Deb and Greg complement each other very well. When you get the two of them in the room together, you’re overwhelmed by their commitment to address our challenges and produce results.”
