New Support Staff - Richard Mann Richard Mann was born in 1980 in Chattanooga, TN and lived both there and Pittsburgh, PA, until he moved to Knoxville in 1999 to attend the University of Tennessee. He graduated four years later with a BA in Broadcasting. Remaining in Knoxville, Richard produced shows for local radio-station cluster Citadel Broadcasting. Richard has always enjoyed working with computers, and grew up playing around with them. Therefore, he ended up in the position of Network Administrator at Citadel. This was a natural transition out of broadcasting, as most of his duties were computer related. In the midst of all this, Richard was married to his wife, Priscilla, on June 6, 2004, and their first child, Gideon Lee Mann was born on May 1, 2005. Richard started at ILS in July of this year, and has already learned quite a bit. He is excited about his future with ILS. Currently, Richard is in System Administration and Technical support. He will be working with Jano Simcka to learn all the ILS systems to backup Jano’s many duties, especially the administration of Knoxville's network, focusing on its web servers, database servers, etc. He hopes that his addition to ILS is one that will allow the company to continue to improve reliability, customer service, and expand/improve the already impressive line of simulations that we offer. Richard's personal interests include cycling, and music (he plays both piano and guitar), but most of all, he loves spending time with his wife and son.
