To help us get to know Cory more, we asked him a few questions: ‍

How did you get started at Tech Logic?  

Joel, Tech Logic's Customer Care Manager, was previously my supervisor in Fargo, North Dakota. He encouraged me to interview with Tech Logic, and after the opportunity came together, I made the move to the Twin Cities. ‍

Can you tell us more about what your role is at Tech Logic?  

I am a field installer. I install AMH and security gates into libraries. When I am not installing gates or AMH machines, I help in the shop building and programing AMH machines. I also do repairs and maintenance on AMH machines. ‍

What is your favorite part of your job?

‍Being able to build the machines from start to finish. Building them in the shop and installing them into the library is a highlight. Seeing how excited libraries get after the machine is installed and watching them use the machine is the most satisfying part of the job. ‍

What have you learned in your time at Tech Logic?

‍I thought libraries were a dying thing because of eBooks and the internet. However, I learned that libraries are growing much faster than I ever expected. ‍

What do you think sets Tech Logic apart from other library technology companies?

‍The quality of our product and how we care about libraries. We build machines to last.

‍Outside of work, what would you like to share about yourself?

‍I have an 18-year-old son who is enrolled in the National Guard. I am also addicted to Disc Golf; I play at least one course everywhere that I have traveled to.

Tech Logic connects libraries with their communities through dynamic, innovative, and efficient workflow technologies—delivering unparalleled service and outstanding patron experience. Since 1997, we have worked exclusively with libraries to develop solutions that empower library patrons and staff.
