At Intellicom we have the privilege of being staffed with some of the most talented people in technology. Our team is committed to working with each unique customer to find a solution that works.
Well, Dan is responsible for it all. As Founder of Intellicom, Dan provides the vision and leadership necessary to achieve our near and long term goals. He is truly passionate about identifying and developing the very best talent in technology. While many leaders spend their time getting work done through people, Dan chooses instead to get people done through work.
Dan understands the value of enjoying himself and when not at Intellicom, you can find him golfing, listening to live music, biking, boating, skiing, beaching... and just about anything on the water!
Jill is Intellicom’s guru for maintaining a healthy workplace for a great staff. After making the transition from a career working in retail pharmacy – including owning her own pharmacy in North Platte – to now serving as Intellicom’s Health & Wellness Advisor, Jill leads and supports a variety of initiatives for our company, our staff, and their families. She has a great passion for educating, advocating and empowering our teammates to leverage the many benefits and resources we have available – all geared toward enhancing the health and well-being of each staff member and their families.
Jill and Dan have a beautiful blended family that includes six children, two dogs, and one cat. When not working you can find them at the lake with their entire crew where they enjoy swimming, tubing, surfing, and jet skis, as well as sunsets and campfires. Jill’s personal favorite though, is the morning coffee cruise as the sun rises on another new day!
Having over 20 years of experience in marketing and management has prepared Bryan to excel in his role of overseeing day to day operations at Intellicom. This includes hiring, supervising, and assisting in the development of the technical teams at Intellicom; not to mention the marketing direction that Bryan oversees.
When Bryan isn’t at Intellicom, you can usually find him with a golf club or fishing pole in his hand. These days, Bryan and his wife don’t find too much time to relax and read as they have traded that in for a hectic schedule of trying to keep up with their 3 very active young kids!
With a steady mix of direct interaction with clients and management of the sales department, John enjoys the different challenges that his job brings each day. With direct sales, new client acquisition, and management all being a part of a normal day, it’s good that John has a serious knack for building strong relationships with those he works with.
Spending time with his family and friends (those that aren’t at Intellicom, of course) are an important part of John’s life and he makes sure that he has the opportunity to do so when he is away from work.
Jeff plays an intricate role at Intellicom because of the work load that he tackles on a daily basis. Not only is Jeff responsible for architecting and engineering complex solutions for our clients, but he is also heavily involved with the research and development of new and emerging products for Intellicom.
Intellicom isn’t the only organization that Jeff works with. He is also involved with both Cub Scout and Boy Scout activities when he is away from work. You may also catch Jeff enjoying a movie or traveling with his family. Beyond cheering on the Huskers and Broncos, Jeff is a self-described technophile which applies to all facets of his life.
Todd spends his time working with our clients to assure a great mutual understanding about all that Intellicom brings to the table. He ensures that each one of our clients knows how to leverage us to maximize the success of their business.
A man with eclectic interests would be one way to describe Todd. In addition to spending time with this family, Todd loves being involved in sports where he can be found coaching baseball and hockey or grabbing his clubs and playing a round of golf. He also enjoys a wide variety of non-sports activities like diving into his faith, writing poetry, teaching philosophy and the list goes on!
As a self-proclaimed spreadsheet guru (that Intellicom definitely endorses), Eddie is responsible for the numbers at Intellicom. On a daily basis, Eddie is working with the executive team and project managers to develop stable budgets and forecasts for future strategic development.
Outside of Intellicom, Eddie enjoys spending time with his wife and young son, attending and serving at their church, and meeting with friends. Eddie also warns that he will binge read if you give him a good book.
It would be safe to say that Tammy’s role at Intellicom is to basically keep the place running. With over 30 years of experience, Tammy is involved both internally and with the clients. This includes working with payroll, benefits, administration and accounting, HR, and office manager related duties.
If you happen to be in the Lincoln or Omaha area, you may spot Tammy visiting her kids and spoiling her adorable grandkids! Tammy also enjoys searching for and refinishing antiques; as well as cooking and collecting quilts.
Ashton has enjoyed an active life in Kearney since moving here in August of 2020. After finishing her bachelor's degree in May of 2022 she chose to continue at UNK for her MBA, which she is on track to receive in December of 2023. She is a Graduate Assistant in the College of Business and Technology’s Career Center, where she has the pleasure of helping with the day to day operations; teaching an occasional class; and creating the financials for the student-run coffee shop Brewed Awakening.
When not sharply focused with her student, graduate assistant, and Intellicom responsibilities, Ashton counts as enjoyable hobbies naps, fishing and camping, and a good book – mostly mysteries and romances, but also any book that is just too good to put down. Beyond all those things, Ashton values most her relationships with family and friends.
A lifelong Kearneyite, Connor brings an eclectic set of interests and skills to his role as Business Analyst. He graduated from UNK after majoring in Information Technology and minoring in Information Networking & Telecommunications, and after gaining incredibly valuable experience as a technician on Intellicom’s Helpdesk, he now offers a unique technical perspective on the admin team.
In his free time, he still enjoys the tech-tinkering, and also making (and eating) good bar-b-que, especially ribs, pulled pork and brisket. He appreciates camping, his lake time with friends, and watching esports rather than regular sports. In addition to all this, he collects 70s and 80s classic rock records and gaming soundtracks.

In her spare time, Janae enjoys spending time with family and friends, walking Patches - her miniature Aussie/Border Collie, and attending concerts by artists like Zach Bryan and Koe Wetzel, among others. She also takes pleasure in cooking and baking, gardening, reading, and playing golf. On the golf course, she always carries the lucky bright yellow SpongeBob golf ball she received from her Grandpa – who first encouraged her love of the game.

Jim has the opportunity to work on many different kinds of engineering solutions during a typical day. These can range from voice and phone trouble to security issues and he even helps with support to our staff. The variety of work that Jim is involved in places him both at the office and out on the road, where he can talk with clients directly.
When not at Intellicom, Jim enjoys having the time to spend with family and friends. He’s also apt to get away to the golf course if you give him the chance. As near as we can tell, golf helps Jim unwind from work and music helps him unwind from golf!

With a particular knowledge of server storage and workstation, Tyson is more than comfortable taking on any support roles that may arise in the office or directly with clients. This results in Tyson being a crucial piece in Intellicom’s mission of providing the most modern technology solutions to clients across all industries.
You better have a fishing pole in hand if you are looking for Tyson outside of Intellicom. He often takes trips to the lake as a chance to unwind and relax during his days away from the office. Tyson also takes his fandom to a new level by sometimes road tripping to see his beloved Blues or Packers play.
If you need assistance with phone systems, firewalls, and network security, there is a good chance that Scott will be your go to guy. He has extensive expertise in those areas and implements and troubleshoots leading edge technology regularly across multiple industries.

Kevin works with much of Intellicom’s digital, analog, and hybrid phone systems and he brings over 25 years of telecommunications and structured cabling experience to that work. Along with the newest options in telecommunication, Kevin also specializes in working with classic telephone equipment and issues that coincide with copper lines.
When you see Kevin outside of Intellicom, you will see him near water fishing with sons and grandchildren, or occasionally calling in a flock of geese.
A passion for technology and safety are a big part of what fuels Jake, and he loves being able to pass along his knowledge, especially if it can help make life easier – or even someday save someone’s life! The constant change in the IT industry gives Jake the opportunity to do something different every day and he loves that his education never ends.
A modern renaissance man, Jake hunts, fishes, and is an accomplished cook with culinary training in his background. Always “tinkering” he can fix just about anything. Most of all he enjoys spending time outdoors with his family.
John’s primary focus lies within backups and Datto solutions which cover a multitude of clients and industries. This is one of John’s favorite things about coming to work; he gets to provide solutions for so many different types of clients that he has a different experience every day.
If there is a body of water, a kayak, and a fishing pole, John is going to be one happy camper. Outside of Intellicom, he loves spending his time outdoors on the lake… or indoors gaming. Either way. Awash in a sea of red, can be found the lone man brave enough to fly his purple flag proudly.
Kevin has the opportunity to work hands-on in many of the large infrastructure projects that Intellicom is involved with. Whether it is access controls, cabling, security cameras, cell boosters, or phone system installations, Kevin is happy to help.
We think it’s safe to say that Kevin loves his work. Installation and outdoor projects don’t stop when Kevin leaves the office. During his time off, Kevin enjoys working with outdoor power equipment on his own home projects.
Having a particular interest in gaming, virtual reality, and PC’s is perfect for Zach as he is heavily involved with server, workstation, and cloud projects at Intellicom. You can usually find him helping with new PC installations, Office 365 rollouts, or working on server projects.
When away from Intellicom, Zach likes splitting his time between house work, gaming, playing basketball with friends, and spending quality time with his wife. This sounds like a busy schedule, but we think Zach can handle it.
For Corey, everything in life is a puzzle waiting to be solved. And Corey loves the new. He and his wife have settled in Kearney after a 15+ year background in customer service and healthcare that has taken him from South Dakota to Iowa, New Jersey, and Louisiana. Prior to that, he lived in Minnesota and Wisconsin – so it’s no wonder he finds enjoyment in travel, and also in trying new foods.
His educational background includes majoring in Applied Computer Science and Information Technology, and aside from his scholarly and professional endeavors he enjoys most being outside – be it relaxing in a hammock with his two kids, mowing the lawn, grilling/smoking, kayaking, fishing, or playing disc golf. Indoors, he especially enjoys watching the Green Bay Packers win, although he prefers being at Lambeau Stadium in person – and has been there for a few playoff games. His kids have even been on the season ticket wait list since the day after they were born!
James joined the Intellicom team after retiring from 20 years active duty in the United States Navy Submarine Force, where he developed a unique outlook on troubleshooting a wide range of components throughout his tenure in the Navy.

It’s not just “I fixed it”. It’s knowing how did I fix it, why did it happen and going back so we can prevent it from happening again. It’s really refreshing to be able to work with people who are that dedicated to their jobs.
