Hometown: Toledo, OH.

About Zac: When I am not working at Nysus I enjoy spending time with my wife of three years.   We don’t have any kids (yet), but our two dogs and two cats require plenty of attention on their own.  If I am not spending time with the family, I am probably found exercising or playing board/video games with friends.

What do you like most about working within the manufacturing industry?  I enjoy working in the manufacturing industry because there is always another problem to solve.  Working with a team to find a solution is a satisfying feeling and brings a sense of accomplishment with each successful project.

Why do you enjoy working at Nysus Solutions? I like working at Nysus Solutions not only because I like my line of work here, but because I thoroughly appreciate the team I am surrounded with.  It is encouraging to be able to work with a group of people who truly seem to enjoy what we do to help people, whether it be each other or the customer. If someone is on the phone helping a customer, it is not uncommon to see someone join in and try to assist in tackling the issue. The sense of teamwork and camaraderie is hard to come by in a workplace and is just one reason I am happy to be part of the Nysus team.

Talk about a positive experience you’ve had with the Nysus Solutions team.  Nysus truly operates as a team.  I have never heard anyone say, “That’s not my job.” Everyone is willing to pitch in to get the task at hand done. 

What do you like most about working within the manufacturing industry?  I really enjoy designing mechanical things to solve manufacturing problems. I am a machine geek, I guess. I enjoy planning out a project and designing the equipment to satisfy the application requirements. Then seeing the project become a reality when things are turned on.

College: Owens Community College  

Hometown: Toledo, OH.    

About Jared:  I am from a family of 4 that always had a dog, cat or both in the house. I am currently living in Perrysburg with my girlfriend and our dog, Maple. In my off time, I am usually either studying my class material or am taking some time to relax and play games with my friends.

Why do you enjoy working at Nysus Solutions?   There are many reasons to enjoy working at Nysus Solutions, but the main reason for me is that it has such a large knowledge pool that I can have almost any question pertaining to my field and someone would either know the answer or know how to find it.

Talk about a positive experience you have had with the Nysus Solutions team.   An experience I will never forget with this team was right after my first week at work – I received a call that was for an issue that I had not dealt with and I had no experience on how to help.   I was able to call a Nysus teammate in the wee hours of the night and they helped me through it and even stayed on the call afterwards to make sure that I understood the solution. That experience really solidified the feeling of being a member of our Nysus team.

Be Passionate – I take pride in my work ethic and it is important to do my best with the current role I have in the company by finding effective and new ways to deliver what I do, not only for the client but also for the company.

Be Thankful – Where I am right now it is definitely something that I do not take for granted. I am very thankful to work with a team that cares, and it drives me to do my work well and be part of the projects in any way I can.

Why do you enjoy working at Nysus Solutions?  It is truly a blessing to work for a company that not only cares about the clients but also about their employees. It is the first time that I have worked for a company where it is obvious that management truly cares.

Talk about a favorite project you have worked on at Nysus Solutions.  I have really enjoyed my involvement with any projects we do with IAC Monterrey. It provides me with a chance to assist the company in communicating with our Spanish-speaking clients and continue to build that relationship with clients in another country.
