Marc Allen: I spent 9 years as a field technician with Pitney Bowes before coming to Optronics. I gained A+ and Network+ Certification along with much experience during those years.

I enjoy playing a hand drum with a worship/music team at church, sometimes read biographies of American historical figures, and just enjoy time at home with my family.
