  • ESOP Owner of the Month (September 2012)
  • I would like to nominate Nate Stiller as an ESOP "Owner of the Month". Nate has been such an asset to not only me but many of my co-workers. Truthfully, I don’t know what I would have done without Nate’s help. There is no problem too big or too complicated for Nate… I’m convinced he can fix anything involving computers. Nate goes over and above in his efforts to do his job. Recently he volunteered to facilitate an in-service for adjunct faculty [on how to use new hardware]. Nate volunteers to fix co-workers’ home computers and smartphones. Often he takes these jobs home and does them on his own time. In addition to his many skills, he is always pleasant, smiling, has a positive attitude and is a pleasure to work with. What an amazing talent!

    For me, he exemplifies what a "good employee" and "good co-worker" should be. Also, since Nate is a PTI graduate, we can be proud of him and proud of the job our instructors have done to help him reach this level.
