Who are these people? A glimpse of, and beyond our professional lives…

Roger

CEO and Technical Engineer

Roger has been working professionally in the tech industry since 2001, over 20 years, and has had an interest in computers since he was a teenager. Roger builds computer systems, consults on security, develops software and websites, and routinely consults on equipment, software upgrades, virus and spyware security and other computer related activities. Roger’s specialty is working in mixed environments of Windows, Mac, and Linux systems. Roger knows 7 different programming languages and his background in video and audio production combined with his extensive knowledge of computers allows the company to produce some of the best, cost effective, cross-platform solutions available in the area. It’s no wonder Tech Lab has a reputation for stellar service, Roger leads by example.

Roger was featured on Rob Kochanski’s Local First Podcast and the Idea Collective’s online Small Business Rally Point.

Outside of work, Roger has a black belt in Tae Kwon Do from Hong’s Tae Kwon Do and enjoys playing music on piano, sax, and occasionally clarinet, performing with the Wauwatosa Community Band, Tosa Jazz, and local community theaters including Sunset Playhouse, Concordia University, and the West Allis Players.

Amanda

Marketing & Operations Manager

Amanda helps keep things moving behind the scenes at Tech Lab, with a focus on marketing, customer communication, and business operations. From creating helpful content and keeping customers connected with Tech Lab to supporting day-to-day initiatives, she works to make sure the experience outside of the technical work is just as thoughtful as the service itself.

With over 15 years marketing and business development, Amanda enjoys finding ways to make complicated ideas easier to understand and helping businesses build stronger relationships with their customers. At Tech Lab, that means translating the world of IT into useful, approachable information while helping create a smooth and positive experience for customers. She believes the best business relationships are built on true partnership, clear communication, and taking the time to understand what people actually need.

When she’s not working, Amanda can usually be found spending time with her dog, Phil, exploring nature, or tending to her ever-growing collection of houseplants. She believes there’s usually something to laugh about, enjoys helping others whenever she can, and isn’t above unwinding with a little reality TV.
