Employee Spotlight - Jeff Buskirk
What’s your role at Simplex-IT and when were you hired?I was brought into the Simplex-IT family as an Intern April 1st, 2013. Six months later I was added as a full-time member of the team. I am currently a Network and Systems Administrator working alongside the rest of my peers providing the best customer service possible to our clients.What’s a typical day like for you at work?Each day brings forth a new challenge, so typical days don’t really exist in our world. These new obstacles bring the team closer together, and together we prevail. If there was such a thing as a “typical day”, it would be taking on the small tasks like replacing “keyboard batteries” to larger ones like “Backup and Disaster Recovery”.What has been your favorite project at Simplex-IT?My favorite projects are the onboarding process. During this process we add new clients to our family. This gives me the opportunity to meet new, and exciting people. I really enjoy making their transition an inviting, and positive experience!What did you do before Simplex-IT?Prior to Simplex-IT, I worked as a Machinist for several years. After that I provided customer support as a field service technician repairing Sharp Multi-Function Printers. During which I’ve obtained two Associates Degrees in IT related curriculums (Computer Electronics Engineering and Information Systems Engineering).What do you like to do outside of work?I enjoy playing Massively Multi-Player Online games (MMOs), and then unplug by hitting the Great Outdoors. My current passion is Bass fishing in Ohio’s many lakes, and ponds. I try to fish a different lake every week throughout the season. This year I will be competing in the Bass tournament scene for the first time!
