Meet Nathan Lichty, Business Center Tech!
It’s not often that anybody receives over two whole pages of praise in their nomination for the YMTD award. But with half a dozen people contributing personal stories and evidence of his dedication, it was easy to see who the favored nomination this month was going to be.
“Nathan is your go-to guy for virtually any problem that you may come across,” said a coworker. “From circuit issues - to LAN issues - he is someone who can always be counted on to analyze a problem to the fullest and come up with the best long term solution for the customer.”
In particular, a common theme from all the nominations cited his desire to learn, and teach, as extraordinary.
“He’s an enthusiastic, patient and meticulous teacher,” said a coworker. “He doesn’t just tell you the numbered steps to fix a problem - he takes the time to explain how something works, and why what you’re doing will fix it.”
As another coworker simply put, “He takes pride in teaching Noobs the skills needed to excel here at Socket.”
(From Wikipedia: “Noob - a novice or newcomer.” You’re welcome.)
Born and raised in Missouri, Nathan graduated from Rock Bridge High School. He can usually be found tinkering with his tech toys, studying for yet another networking exam, or playing classic video games on his cell phone.
“I get to think critically and adapt to new challenges on a daily basis,” said Nathan. “It’s like playing a puzzle game… except I’m lucky enough to also get paid for it.“
