Employee Spotlight: Reece Williams – The Calm in the IT Storm
This month, we’re thrilled to shine the spotlight on Reece Williams, a System Administrator at Nevtec whose journey into IT began with a little family guidance and a lot of curiosity. From uncertain beginnings to becoming a go-to tech hero, Reece’s story is one of growth, grit, and a genuine love for helping others.
From Help Desk to Hero
Reece didn’t always know he’d end up in IT. After school, he was still figuring things out when his brother-in-law, an IT Director in Oakland, stepped in and offered to train him. That mentorship sparked a passion that led Reece into the world of Managed Service Providers (MSPs), where he’s been ever since. Starting at the Help Desk, he steadily worked his way up to a senior/project role—proof that dedication and curiosity can take you far.
Why He Loves What He Does
What keeps Reece motivated? It’s simple: people. “I love helping people,” he says. “When they’re frustrated and stressed, I like to relieve some of that stress and put a smile on their face.” That empathy and calm under pressure make him a favorite among colleagues and clients alike.
Life Beyond the Screen
When he’s not solving tech puzzles, Reece is all about the outdoors. Whether it’s hiking, kayaking, or just breathing in mountain air, he finds peace in nature. His recent trip to Iceland left a lasting impression—he calls it “the most beautiful place I have seen.”
Family First
Reece grew up in a military family, moving frequently and learning to adapt quickly. Today, his roots are firmly planted with his wife Christina and their beloved dog Kobe. “Family is the most important thing,” he says, and it shows in everything he does.
Favorite Things
- Movie: Reservoir Dogs
- Food: Steak and potatoes—especially anything grilled or smoked
- TV Shows: For laughs, it’s The Office or Schitt’s Creek. For drama, Breaking Bad tops the list.
Fun Fact
As a kid, Reece dreamed of becoming a homicide detective. While he didn’t go down that path, his knack for solving problems and staying cool under pressure makes him a detective of a different kind in the tech world.
