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.

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.

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!

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.

Even though he has called Kansas home for nearly 40 years, Matt’s roots trace back thousands of miles — 6,445 to be exact. And before you take a (likely wrong) guess at where he’s from, we’ll just go ahead and tell you: It’s Seoul, South Korea.

As a CEDIA-certified technician with more than 12 years of experience, Matt enjoys taking on new challenges and interacting with different types of clients. And although he crossed a mightly big pond to plant new roots in Kansas, that doesn’t stop him from navigating local waters to fish and live his best lake life.

If you ask Matt what else he’s reeling in, he’ll likely say family, sports, family, and sports (in that order). The biggest surprise about him is probably the fact that he surprised himself by becoming a family man and raising two great kids. As for how he would like to be remembered? “A person who would do anything to help anybody.”

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.

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.

Matt “Rope” Roepke walked through Mordor. Need we say more? With those qualifications, we were thrilled when he chose to join us here at Redi Systems! Spend just a few minutes with Matt, and you will quickly witness his quintessential southern warmth and kindness.

Born a Manhattanite but raised a Tennesean, Matt returned to Kansas in pursuit of higher education. He found it in Kinesiology and Exercise Science at K-State, eventually finishing up his education with cybersecurity bootcamp and Security+. His formal education may be complete, but he is still learning every day, which is very exciting to him.

Matt enjoys getting outside and hiking with his wife and their beloved canines. He states it would be impossible for him to give up his family, “especially my dogs!”, so he fits right in amongst us animal lovers. He also enjoys playing some DnD and video games in his free time.

Matt works as a Systems Technician and is studying to develop his programming skills and technical certifications. When you see him out in the field, be sure to yell hello. He’ll answer to Matt or Rope.

Originally from Salina, KS, Jeremy made the trek down I-70 to Manhattan for school. Now as an ESC-certified technician at Redi Systems’ automation company, he enjoys the relationships he gets to build with customers. The most noteworthy perk of his job, though, is meeting his wife through his coworker Tyler and having himself a nice little family.

In addition to spending time with said family, Jeremy enjoys cheering on the Kansas City Chiefs and playing disc golf. So much that, in his own words, he wants to be remembered as “someone who would do anything for anyone....and a decent disc golfer.”

A fun fact about Jeremy that many might not know is that he has a twin brother, Jacob, who lives in Salina with his wife and three kids. Unlike his co-worker, Jason, we’re confident Jeremy doesn’t have his twin cover shifts for him at work. Or, at least we hope he doesn’t.

Hailing from the Quad City of Bettendorf, IA, Ryan moved to Manhattan in pursuit of furthering his education. Graduating from the INT program at Manhattan Area Technical College, Ryan’s hard work earned him Dean’s List honors, A+ certification, and Networks+ Certification.

Although Ryan enjoys watching sports and playing video games, he really enjoys schooling other members of the Redi Systems team on the court of table tennis. He may have developed his skills with daily practice, or perhaps he is more of a prodigy. Regardless, his calm and friendly demeanor balances well with his competitiveness.

Ryan exhibits that “keep calm, I’ve got this” cool that our clients and we appreciate. He’s known for a customer-centric attitude and genuinely enjoys creating great client experiences through innovative technology. Ryan recently moved to North Carolina. Although he is a thousand miles, he continues to provide 5-Star support.
