Employee Profile Dylan Sherman Network Business Technician Dylan Sherman studied Network Administration at Southeastern Community College and joined Adams in 2021. His previous employer contracted with local schools to provide technology services. Sherman’s primary responsibilities as Network Business Technician are to provide support and maintenance to local businesses for all the products Adams sells and the devices it installs. What’s a typical workday like for him? “A typical workday isn’t very typical. I could be upgrading servers for one customer or setting up a domain for another. I could be removing viruses from someone’s computer, or I could be seeing why their network is down and trying to bring it back up so they can work,” Sherman replied. He added, “I find helping the customer to be the most rewarding part of my job. I enjoy learning about new technologies and implementing them to enhance the workplace.” Sherman and his wife of seven years have a 4-year-old son. Their family also includes a 12-year-old dog. • Antivirus • Computer Maintenance and Monitoring • Firewalls and VPN Solutions • Backup Solutions • Hardware and Software Sales • HP, Lenovo, and Cisco Reseller • Routers • Software Updates • Server Management • Switches • SIP Trunking • Phone Systems • PRI Services • Local Sales and Service
