Protek Support

⛳ We had a blast at the Little America Open on Friday! ⛳

Huge shoutout to Kristel and Aubrey for golfing with Protek. These two ladies definitely carried Clint and Annie, but we had a great time trying to keep up. 😄

Stefanie was busy manning Hole 4 and keeping players stocked with treats throughout the day.

Events like this remind us why we love what we do. It's about more than business. It's about building relationships, spending time with great people, and making new friends along the way.

Thanks to everyone who made it such a fun day. We already can't wait for next year!

- Meet Ricardo -

Ricardo's journey at Protek shows what's possible when curiosity meets opportunity. He started as a Level 0/1 tech, moved into Professional Services handling PC setups and network projects, and has since grown into a key role on our Centralized Services team.

Today, Ricardo focuses on tool management across our stack. That includes NinjaOne RMM management, Microsoft 365 standardization, Apple MDM with Addigy, and much more. In his words, "I like to be involved in it all!" That hands-on, all-in approach helps our team keep finding smarter, more efficient ways to serve our clients.

His love for technology goes back to his first family computer, when he started taking electronics apart to see how they worked. A few years ago, he decided to turn that passion into a career and hasn't looked back.

Asked what he loves about Protek, Ricardo points to three things: real growth for anyone willing to learn, the variety that comes with a constantly changing field, and genuine ownership. "They put trust in me and let me prove myself every day. It's a very rewarding job."

Outside of work, Ricardo has played soccer since he was 8, competing in local and out-of-state tournaments, and still plays today. He also stays active hiking and at the gym. And when he gets the chance, he's introducing his son to the retro games he grew up on.

Thank you, Ricardo, for everything you bring to the team! 🙌

💙 Employee Spotlight: Amanda Waring 💙

At Protek, we know that great customer experiences start with great people, and Amanda is one of the best.

For the past two years, Amanda has been the friendly voice, steady presence, and organizational powerhouse behind our Service Desk. After moving to Utah three and a half years ago, she's built both a career and a life centered around what matters most to her: her three beautiful children.

When asked what she loves most about working at Protek, Amanda shared:

"I have never once dreaded coming to work. I genuinely enjoy everyone here and feel like that is reciprocated. You all have truly embraced not just me, but my kids as well, and allowed me to be a present mother while building a career that provides for my family."

Amanda's dedication, positivity, and commitment to both her family and our clients make her a valuable part of the Protek team. We're grateful for everything she does every day and proud to have her as part of our family.

Thank you, Amanda!
