Brian Lee

Founder, Lead Consultant

Hello and welcome! My name is Brian and I’m the founder of Relion. I started Relion out of an allergic reaction to corporate computer services. I wanted to start something fun and fresh, and bring back the lost art of great customer service. As the "old man" on the team, I spend my time coaching our amazing techs and making sure that our clients have the best possible experience. It's hard to believe that it's been 17 years, but one thing I've learned is that you need to enjoy what you do. We look forward to serving you and always having a little fun!

Zach Dufton

Tier2, Helpdesk Lead

Hi, my name is Zach! I am a proud father, husband, and customer service extraordinaire. I spend my off time playing video games, recording podcasts, fishing, watching hockey, and indulging in craft beers. Yes, I am a beer geek. I started my IT career with Geek Squad, where I learned how to have fun while being the best. I joined Relion 6 years ago and I have not looked back. I can guarantee that when you get on the phone with me, I’ll have you laughing in under 5 minutes

Carlos Rangel

Tier 2, Software Developer

Hey, I’m Carlos, but the guys call me Turbo. I fell in love with IT when I realized I was able to combine two of my passions into a career: Working with people and working with technology. Off the clock, I’m always looking to improve my skills on the chefs block and talking myself out of buying overpriced 90’s Japanese cars. High paced efficiency is my forte, so when you call me you’ll have your issue resolved so fast, you’ll swear I was never on your computer.

Alex Graham

Tier 2, NOC Engineer

Hi, my name is Alex. I was born and raised in Hawaii, but moved to California to pursue a modeling career. Even though I wasn’t pretty enough to be a model, I fell in love with IT. I joined the Relion team about 4 years ago, and it’s been a lot of fun because solving issues feels like solving a puzzle. If you need someone to quietly get things done without complaining, I’m your guy. Finding the most efficient way to do things brings me a sense of fulfillment. I look forward to cracking your next issue!

Brendan Schemers

Helpdesk Technician

Hi! My name is Brendan and I’m the guy who mops in the rain. I knew from a young age that I wanted to work in IT and was fortunate enough to get some training while I was in the military. I am a veteran, I served 6 years of active duty in the Marine Corps and transitioned out in September of this year. I’ve been married for 3 years and have 2 wonderful fur babies. I enjoy playing video games and nerding out about Star Wars and Lord of the Rings. I am so excited to be a part of this team, and look forward to working with everyone in the Relion family.

Keenan Johnson

Helpdesk Technician

Hello! I'm Keenan, a recent Cal Poly Pomona grad and IT Help Desk Technician here at Relion Support Inc. When I’m not troubleshooting, I enjoy gaming, working on and driving my car, and spending time with my cats. My passion for tech is only rivaled by my ambition to start a professional guard cat training business. From tech support to gaming tips, car mods to cat facts—I've got you covered! Whenever I assist you, rest assured that your computer will be operating like it has nine lives!

Emmanuel Cruz

Helpdesk Technician

Hey there, I'm Emmanuel. They say I have a laugh that can shake the room, and I bring that same energy to my work. When I'm not at the office, you'll often find me gaming or hitting the court for some basketball. I could've gone to the NBA but decided to give other people a fair shot at it, so I stuck to computers! I'm someone who likes having a good time - I'll get your computer fixed while making sure you have a good laugh!

Kat Adea

Helpdesk Technician

Hi my name is Kat and I've been tinkering with technology since my childhood, where I would chop up and Frankenstein old computers brought home from my mom's office. I love the rush that comes from helping people solve problems with technology, and I enjoy finding solutions in the name of "work smarter, not harder". In my free time I love gardening, hiking, crafting, and meeting new people. By the way, did I mention I'm a HUGE anime nerd?
