THE CREW
LEE DEVINE
Lee Devine has an associate’s degree in operations management, a certificate from Dixie Tech in manufacturing principles, and his CompTIA A+, Network+, and Security+ certifications. He worked in the industry as an IT manager for a few years, and in 2010, he joined the staff at Dixie Tech as an admin for OpX. But he soon made the switch back to IT in 2012 as an IT Technician for the college. In 2015 he followed his dream of becoming a teacher and joined the faculty at Dixie Tech as an IT instructor. “What I love the most about teaching is seeing the ‘look of understanding’ hit a student’s face.. that moment when a subject they have been struggling with finally becomes understandable. I love the idea that I am helping someone achieve their dreams and goals.”
JON BARTSCHI
Jon Bartschi is a lifelong learner and enjoys making and building everything from PCs to 3D printers. He joined the Dixie Tech faculty in 2017.
