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.

In life, there are those that dream, those that do, and then there is Robert Nall. His southern roots drew him to service in the armed forces before ultimately bringing him to Kansas. We knew he would feel right at home here at Redi Systems when we learned that he is not just a brilliant technology expert, but he lives the fun side of tech!

Robert fully embraced education and technology, earning multiple degrees and certifications. He worked hard to become a technology director in the public sector and medical fields.

Robert’s skills go beyond the breeze of a server room. When not piloting drones, printing in 3D, competition pistol shooting, and arguing the influences the string quartet has had on rock music, Robert is likely enjoying a nice cold beer, applying the finishing touches to a woodworking project, and spending time with his family.

Before joining Redi Systems, Tyler was more likely to be walking the halls of the Kansas Statehouse than talking about smart technology. Lucky for us, he had enough of lobbying politicians and was ready for a new challenge.

Growing up on his family’s farm and ranch, Tyler developed a sense of accountability and ownership that he works to instill in everyone he coaches. He says he enjoys his down-time so much more knowing that he owned his responsibilities and delivered on the high expectations he sets for himself.

When asked what he enjoys most about Redi Systems, Tyler states, “I love movies! They transport you to the most fantastic times and places you can never go otherwise, and we have a state-of-the-art theater right here the building!” As you may guess, Tyler enjoys watching movies in his free time, as well as cheering on the Cats, playing cards, being with his family, messing in his yard, cooking, road trips, and everything music.

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.
