Mike, originally from Peoria, Illinois, started working at UWyo in 2005 and then joined ARCC in 2012. Since then, he has developed and used his expertise in systems administration, architecture, and design to become the Deputy Director. Mike is responsible for implementing new services in addition to keeping the current services up and running. His role involves a lot of technical work behind-the-scenes for the cluster and storage systems. One of his favorite parts of working for ARCC is the ability to work on a team that uses incredible technology to assist with research that may ultimately change the world. When he isn't’t at work, Mike enjoys writing, fishing, mountain biking, and spending time with his family.

Jeff, originally from Spokane, Washington, started working at UWyo in December of 2003 and helped to create ARCC in 2010. As the Lead Systems Architect for ARCC, he is responsible for ensuring all systems are operating smoothly so that researchers may concentrate on their research without worrying about technical issues. His favorite part about working for ARCC is the opportunity to work with new hardware, interesting systems, and great researchers while learning about the research being performed at UWyo. In his free time, he enjoys trains, photography, movies, good food, and the outdoors.

Simon, originally from Canterbury in the UK, joined ARCC in June of 2019. As the HPC Software Manager and Programmer Analyst for ARCC, he is responsible for making sure that core software is available and supported, while simultaneously assisting the research community in the development, testing, deployment, and debugging of code and applications. His favorite part about his work at ARCC is the variety and diversity of work, requests, issues, and people within the academic environment. When he isn't at work, he enjoys working on his PhD downtown at a local coffee shop.

Levi, originally from Evergreen, Colorado, worked as a student technician in IT for five years as a means of learning skills and eventually a new trade. On his way to outgrowing his student role he learned as much as he could about computers, software, scripting, and Linux. Joining ARCC in March 2021 as a System Administrator II, he is very excited to be working with the ARCC team, and hopes to see researchers find their "Eureka" moment that changes people's understanding of our world. Ever the audiophile, Levi loves listening to music, especially old school 80's/90's rave, concocting musical experiments in his spare time, as well as taking long drives on windy mountain roads.

Tim started working full time at UW in the early '90's and helped to create ARCC in 2010. In his role supporting end users, Tim helps researchers and students navigate the sometimes confusing world of high performance computing.
When he isn't at work, Tim can be found working on his family home, his next novel, training horses, or a '74 Honda project motorcycle.
