About Us
Meet the REDI Systems Team!
Sean Ruth
Sean Ruth, REDI Systems’ director of sales, has spent nearly his entire life in Manhattan, Kan. He loves the town, loves the people, and loves working hard for his customers. Previous to the founding of REDI Systems, he spent 10 years in retail electronics, the last two of which he spent immersed in the fine art of home installation. He’s a certified RTI product Specialist, RTI Level I and II Programmer, a Nuvo Systems Certified Installer and a Lutron Radio RA Preferred Systems Provider…which basically means he knows his stuff. When he’s not working to improve someone’s lifestyle, he spends time with his wife, Jessi, and their new daughter, Presley. A self-professed animal lover and total klutz, Sean likes to exercise and keep up on politics, which helps fuel his opinions on, well, everything.
Preston Davis
Preston Davis, a Manhattan man and project manager for REDI Systems, started his career working in telecommunications with Cox Communications, in Wichita. His time with Cox took him many places, the most prominent among them being New Orleans, five days after Hurricane Katrina hit. While Preston claims he’d forget his name if it wasn’t on his shirt, he definitely has a talent for listening, and remembers exactly what his customers need. When he’s not overseeing installations, Preston likes to hang out at the lake, boating and wakeboarding, play with his dogs, or watch movies like “The Breakfast Club” and “Pretty in Pink” with his fiancée, Erin. Now, whether that second movie choice is his or hers, he’s not telling.
Matt Martin
REDI Systems technician Matt Martin grew up in Manhattan. A friend of Sean’s since childhood, Matt’s work at REDI Systems includes installing anything from commercial speakers to security systems. Certified in central vacuum and consumer electronics installation, he’s prepared for any obstacles that might crop up during a job. In his free time, Matt likes to spend time with his 7-year-old son, Adrian, and his wife, Heather, and his newborn Daughter Kierra who was born in March. He likes fishing and sports (go Chiefs!), and is an admitted reality TV addict. Secure in his manliness, he also acknowledges a fondness for Elliott Yamin, a finalist from season five of American Idol.
Jocelyn Butler
Jocelyn Butler, Redi System’s executive assistant, has the not-at-all challenging job of keeping the guys at Redi Systems organized. A Minnesota native, she moved to Manhattan with her husband Ryan after he was stationed at Ft. Riley. A study in duality, Jocelyn double-majored in music performance and studio art in college, but she knows her way around a gun and loves to go target shooting on the weekends. An unfailing optimist who labels herself as a “geek,” Jocelyn loves to watch the History Channel and true crime shows, and has a passion for upbeat punk rock bands. When she’s not keeping track of customer requests or making installation appointments, Jocelyn can be found straightening picture frames, rugs…anything, really, due to her slight tendency toward OCD.
Ian Moore
Ian Moore is a consultant with REDI Systems, and has lived in Manhattan all his life. He enjoys the small-town feel of the city streets, and finds relating to the needs of his customers second nature. A proud father of a tyke named Tyrus, Ian swears his favorite thing about being a dad is not knowing what’s going to happen next. (We’ll see how long that lasts.) With an associate degree in graphic design, Ian appreciates the finer things in life, such as painting and sculpting. He also appreciates the not-so-finer things — he’s hooked on MTV’s “The Hills,” an affliction he conveniently blames on his fiancée, Miranda. A member of the REDI Systems team since 2008, Ian loves the friendly, teamwork-oriented atmosphere his job provides.
Extreme Makeover Home Edition
November 2008 ABCs’ Extreme Makeover Home Edition built a home for the Tutwiler family in Chapman, Kansas. Chapman was hit by an EF-4 tornado June 2008 which destroyed most of the town, including the Tutwiler home. Businesses in the community were asked to help out…this is where the opportunity of a lifetime presented itself for us at Redi Systems. We donated our time and installed a whole home security system that Honeywell donated and all the televisions that were donated by other companies. It was a wonderful opportunity that we could not pass up for our small business to do a small part to help those in need.
