Meet Jon Kopczyk

Why did you join Clear Rate?

I joined Clear Rate because I wanted to return to a technical role and be part of a rising company.

What's your favorite part of your job?

My favorite part of working as a Network Operations Manager is problem-solving!

Who inspires you and why?

I am inspired by people who teach, demonstrate humility, are genuine, and root for the underdog. Most people can learn things and perform daily tasks; I admire people who look beyond themselves and have a desire to enrich people around them by sharing the knowledge they've gained.

How have you helped a customer?

We are surrounded by technology and I try daily to explain the unexplainable to customers (internal and external), so they understand and feel confident using the solutions we provide.  I also consider myself a logical thinker and enjoy documenting processes so they are easier to understand for the next person trying to solve a problem.

What's one thing - industry-related or not - you learned in the last month?

I learned there are only 10 types of people in the world: those who understand binary and those who do not

Now tell us some fun facts about you? Your hobbies, interests, etc?

I volunteer my weekends to the Selfridge Military Air Museum as a tour guide and docent. I also tie classic and artistic flies for fly fishing.
