Once upon a time Sean left Manhattan, KS for greener pastures. Upon discovering none existed, he returned to his beloved Little Apple and vowed to never leave again.

A man of extreme integrity, Sean enjoys interacting with Redi Systems customers and solving their technical problems with creative solutions. Sean is a CEDIA Level II Certified Technician and moonlights as The Home Show Committee Chair.

When not working, Sean enjoys spending time with his family, as well as outdoor activities and exercising. Sean is also quite proud of the fact that he is the Fall 2012 Tuesday Mixed League Bowling Champion—a fact he’ll relay to you whether you ask or not. Bottom line, dude can roll.

In his remaining spare time, Sean and his family also help foster animals find forever homes.

Alan has lived between Junction City and Manhattan, KS his entire life, making him a prime example of the classic saying, ‘There’s no place like home.” It’s fitting, given the second family and close friendships he’s built within the Redi Systems automation company.

Before joining our team, Alan worked for six years as a cable satellite installer, fellow employees in a classroom/field setting. When he’s not playing games with his coworkers, you can likely find Alan hanging out with his family, fishing, or working on a truck with his grandpa.

When it comes to accomplishments, Alan is most proud of the lifestyle he and his wife have been able to build for themselves and for their kids. Given all that, it’s easy to see why he won an optimist award in grade school. Make sure to congratulate him on it the next time you see him; we’ll work on adding it to his official title.

Trading the Walnut Valley for the Little Apple, Lacie made her way to Manhattan from Winfield, KS. She fell in love with Manhattan and says she can’t imagine ever leaving. Well, we think she’s pretty smart for that, and for a few other reasons too. Exhibit one: she earned a Bachelor of Mathematics and Chemistry from Southwestern College. We rest our case.

Having a cat named “Salem” could likely tell you all you need to know about Lacie. When she goes, she goes grand and all-in. She enjoys reading, drawing, painting, and playing all kinds of games. She has most recently been acing some serious charcuterie skills in addition to her already amazing cooking. If that isn’t remarkable enough, she can touch her nose with her tongue, which is particularly useful during allergy season.

Lacie enjoys coming to work where everyone is so friendly. “One of my favorites parts of working here is doing our community service projects and helping to give back,” she says. Her positivity and intensity help here everyone deliver the expectations we establish, and for that, we are all grateful to have Lacie on the Redi Systems team!

Josh grew up in Hutchinson, later moving to Manhattan for education opportunities. Six years ago, he joined our team as a field technician and has since worked as a draftsman in the engineering department. Today, he coordinates the purchasing and warehousing activities for the entire company.

When not at Redi Systems, Josh enjoys taking walks, sports, and other physical activities. As a Certified Personal Trainer, he is working to grow a successful fitness business that makes a positive impact on as many people’s lives as possible.

To relax, Josh enjoys watching shows and spending time with family. He also enjoys playing games that involve strategy. Although, he did purchase a scratch game of chance, just once, and won $100! Sounds like a good strategy to us!

Josh is proud of his adaptability and willingness to compromise to solve problems. He demonstrates these skills everyday as he purchases customers’ orders and keeps merchandise efficiently flowing through the warehouse.

Matt bleeds purple and truly enjoys cheering on and supporting local athletics. Although his kids are quite a few years past little-league, Matt still makes time for assisting at numerous youth programs throughout the year.

As a CEDIA-certified technician and account manager, Matt developed multiple skills as he took on various roles around Redi Systems. Matt fully transitioned into design and engineering over the years. He enjoys taking on new challenges of planning for clients the most comprehensive solutions to fit their needs.

Matt regularly attends training and development programs to stay up to date on the latest technology. For the past few years, Matt has extensively trained in lighting design, which has provided him with an expertise in building lighting designs which enhance and improve functionality by applying light as a primary function in homes and business versus just after-thoughts.

A Salina, KS native, Tyler graduated from Hutchinson Community College with an Associate’s Degree in Business Management. An admitted Wildcat fanatic, Tyler’s love of all things K-State brought him to Manhattan, KS where he joined the Redi Systems team.

Tyler recently obtained his ESPA Certification and, due to his passion for continuing education and ambitious nature, has already begun preparing for his next set of certification exams. When not working or studying, Tyler enjoys spending time with his friends and family, as well as watching and playing just about any sport.

In addition to running his own business someday, Tyler also aspires to be remembered as “They guy who never dropped anything,” a feat which makes him an ideal candidate for the next star running back for the Kansas City Chiefs. Should the Chiefs organization be interested, he is open to begin contract negotiations immediately.

Ever have a job that doubles as a horror film? If you ask Jamie, he may raise both hands. Beyond his expertise in mold, lead, and asbestos cleanup, Jamie has more experience with cleaning up dead bodies than most serial killers. Is it any wonder he buckled down and earned his CompTIA A+ certification to shift careers into the sterile world of IT and systems integration? Regardless, he takes on challenges like a champ, and we are lucky to have him on our team at Redi Systems.

Jamie grew up in the Montana wilderness. He later spent time in Arizona while finishing school before settling down in Kansas with his family. When he’s not helping Redi Systems deliver top-notch customer service, you might find him out on the range with a bow or firearm, exploring the outdoors, or diving into shows on history and tech.

At work, Jamie brings integrity, technical know-how, and genuine pride in doing things right. At home, he’s proud to support his wife, also a Jamie and an Air National Guard Veteran, as well as his fantastic children.

Jamie used to be a semi-pro wrestler. His ring name? Xander Krieg. We think it fits, but we are still trying to guess his catchphrase.

Travis grew up in Manhattan, KS and is an ESPA-certified technician with more than 2-years of experience. He is passionate about both his work, and the wonderful people who work with him.

An outdoor-addict, Travis enjoys participating in any outdoor activity no matter the season—except for sailing, which he limits to the summertime for obvious reasons (thank you very much Midwest winters).

As a self-professed student of native culture, Travis is an avid collector of native artifacts, including arrowheads and pottery. Travis firmly believes that a person’s word is central to who they are and, because of that, values honesty above all else. In his free time, Travis strives to become a more organized person and, for his legacy, would like to be remembered as the guy who “did that.” Unless “that” was illegal, in which case it totally wasn’t him.

Originally from Burlington, Kansas, Kayla made her way to Manhattan and quickly found a reason to stay. After meeting her husband here, she decided the Flint Hills was the perfect place to plant roots, build a life, and raise a family. We're inclined to agree.

With nearly fifteen years of experience in account management, Kayla understands the value of building strong relationships and delivering exceptional service. Her accomplishments include being a two-time President's Club winner and earning recognition as a Top Balanced Performer. She enjoys working within the local community and alongside the Redi Systems team, where she brings energy, positivity, and a genuine commitment to helping clients find solutions that fit their needs.

When she's not at work, Kayla can usually be found spending time with family and friends, preferably outdoors with good food and great company. She values honesty and integrity above all else and is currently focused on two important goals: helping Redi Systems continue to grow and successfully navigating the teenage years. We suspect one of those goals may prove slightly more challenging than the other.

Kayla is especially proud of the two wonderful humans she is raising and the young adults they are rapidly becoming. She says they teach her something every day and never cease to amaze her. As for an unusual talent, Kayla can raise each eyebrow independently, which may not help much in account management, but certainly comes in handy when a conversation calls for a little extra skepticism. One thing she could never give up? Diet Dr. Pepper. Some partnerships are simply meant to last a lifetime.

Growing up in Junction City, Kansas, Ta'Marche developed a love for competition and travel through athletics. His athletic pursuits took him to many different places over the years, but eventually he found his way back to the Flint Hills. Today, he's happy to have a career that allows him to do what he enjoys while staying close to family and friends and continuing to build a strong foundation for the future.

Before joining Redi Systems, Ta'Marche accumulated nearly eight years of experience working in multiple states on both residential and commercial projects. Along the way, he invested heavily in his professional development, earning certifications including OSHA 10 and 30, Access Control Technician, Alarm Technician, Locksmith, and Fire Sprinkler Technician. His diverse background and commitment to learning have helped him become a versatile technician who is always looking for ways to improve.

When he's not working, you can usually find Ta'Marche outdoors enjoying nature. Whether he's hiking, fishing, or spending quality time with family, he appreciates the opportunity to slow down and enjoy life's simple moments. In fact, fishing would be nearly impossible for him to give up. For Ta'Marche, it's more than a hobby. It's a chance to clear his mind, appreciate the outdoors, and occasionally prove that the fish really was "this big."

Ta'Marche values communication, honesty, accountability, positivity, and hard work. He hopes to be remembered as someone who was selfless, reliable, and willing to help others while leading by example. He's especially proud of the life he has built and the accomplishments he's achieved through hard work and determination, from his days as an athlete to his professional career. As for fun facts, he's ambidextrous, loves to cook, and was once the fastest man in the state of Kansas. We don't know if he can still outrun everyone, but we're confident he's the only person on our team who can reel in a fish, cook dinner, and sign autographs with either hand.

Brandon's journey began in Ellsworth, Kansas, where he grew up before setting out in his early twenties to see what life beyond the Sunflower State had to offer. At the age of 22, he took a $500 tax return, packed up his dog and everything he could fit in his small car, and headed to Florida in search of adventure. After spending a few years "abroad," Brandon discovered what many Kansans eventually learn: there's no place like home. Today, he's happy to call the Flint Hills area home and to be part of the Redi Systems team as an IT Systems & Support Technician.

Brandon enjoys helping people and working with electronics, making the technology world a natural fit. Never one to stop learning, he is currently studying for his CompTIA A+ certification and has his sights set on Network+ and Security+ certifications in the future. His long list of accolades includes being named Time Magazine's 2006 Person of the Year and earning a participation award in a 3rd-grade spelling bee. We suspect one of those accomplishments may have required slightly more effort than the other.

When he's not at work, Brandon enjoys taking walks, tinkering with electronics, playing video games, and petting his cat. There is, however, one thing he simply couldn't live without: Butterfingers. Just Butterfingers. No explanation necessary.

Brandon values communication, kindness, and open-mindedness, and hopes to be remembered as someone people could always count on for help. He's especially proud of his young daughter, whom he describes as kind, respectful, and incredibly smart. As for an unusual fact about Brandon, standing at 6'5", he's already answered all your questions. Yes, he played basketball. Yes, the weather is nice up there. And yes, he can absolutely see the dust on top of your refrigerator.
