Scott Braccia – HBS Sales Simplicity Technical Support team
I was born and raised in the San Francisco Bay Area, yet my home for the past 18 years has been in Phoenix, Arizona. I enjoy hiking and camping when it isn’t over 105 degrees. I have recently become an empty nester as the youngest of my two children joined the US Army in January. I have 2 dogs; one is named Chance and the other is Leia. I have been in the customer service field for well over 30+ years. The thing I enjoy most about customer service is building a rapport with my customers and knowing they can rely on me brings me great pride.
Robert Guthrie – HBS Kova Technical Spport team
My name is Robert Guthrie and I have 2 little girls who are 9 and 11. I have been with MiTek for just over a year and I have worked as a System Admin and prior to that as a Network Technician for AT&T. I enjoy problem solving which is why I have thoroughly enjoy jobs that involve challenging my troubleshooting ability. Prior to getting into the technology field I worked in home residential construction with a contractor who installed wall and floor tile in custom built homes, so I am familiar with the stages of construction in new homes. I have enjoyed expanding my knowledge of that process learning about the Kova software and I look forward to the exciting changes coming in both it and the company in the future.
