Hunter Highlights Vol. 123

Rick Brandt whose career at Hunter has taken him from repair technician to Information Technology Programmer Analyst was recently named a Most Valuable Professional (MVP) by Microsoft Corporation. The award is presented annually to individuals who are exceptional in their support of Microsoft technical communities worldwide. Brandt is a long-time participant in many Internet-based professional newsgroups and forums that exchange information about the application and use of Microsoft software. His contributions were noticed by the Microsoft MVP committee who nominated him for the award. Brandt is currently responsible for programming that integrates the newest information technologies with Hunter’s internal data and business management.

Brandt called the award a pleasant surprise. “Professional newsgroups and forums are a great place to get information and find answers,” he said. “And, if you hang around long enough you start answering other people’s questions.”
