Joe Manolakis.

I'm Joe Manolakis. I earned my A+ certification in high school, then spent seven years as an F15 crew chief in the Massachusetts Air National Guard (Westfield ANG), followed by three-plus years as a technical expert at Apple's Genius Bar.

From there I moved into logistics — Quality Assurance Coordinator at A Duie Pyle, then LTL terminal supervisor. I'm currently a Transportation Manager at JB Hunt.

I'm back in school now finishing a bachelor's degree in IT, working my way back toward hands-on technical work. What I bring is years of Tier 2 IT experience combined with years of managing people and operations — the technical depth and the professionalism to apply it responsibly, especially around data privacy and safety.
