Scott Kay
Service Desk Analyst L1Jesse Brunson-Hamby
Operations SpecialistJesse started with studies in mechanical engineering and diesel mechanics, although my interests have shifted since then. Throughout my career, I’ve found my niche in engineering and project management, always diving into technical challenges with enthusiasm. I thrive on the details and enjoy overseeing projects from start to finish. Off the clock, I love tinkering with tools like my laser cutter, 3D printer, and vinyl cutter—they help me turn ideas into reality! Based in Hagerman, ID, I’m fortunate to pursue both professional growth and personal creativity in a place I call home.
