Employee Spotlight: Mark Akesson

Mark is a native Southern Californian and currently lives with his girlfriend and their kitty, nicknamed Bods. Mark is known around the office as a really laid back and quiet guy. While he may be more of a ghost in the office, he is always hard at work at one of our clients.

I asked Mark a few more questions about his work and home life…

How long have you been with briteCITY? I’ve been with briteCITY for almost 2 years, but they acquired me from CCS in September 2015.  I have worked the role of an IT professional with CCS since March 2005 making me a 12+ year veteran.

What do you do for briteCITY? I work on computer networks.

What is your favorite part of your job? I like helping people and I’m never bored at work.

What is one thing that makes briteCITY great? We have a solid team with great personalities across the board.

What is the weirdest job you have ever had? I haven’t had any weird jobs, although working on computers at people’s houses has been interesting at times.  The weirdest thing I ever did for money was eat 1 bite of Fancy Feast chicken cat food for a hundred bucks & I’d do it again.

Where is your favorite place to be? Being home is my favorite, but I love outdoor adventures especially camping.

When you aren’t working, what do you love to do? Manly stuff!  Not all at the same time, but drive my Vette, shoot guns, drink, BBQ etc..

What does leadership mean to you? Leadership to me is setting an example to inspire others to follow.

What is one thing you couldn’t live without? It’s a tossup between love and good food.

If you could have a different job for one day, what would you want to do? Motorcycle cop.

What is your favorite Book, Movie & Song? No favorites; if it’s good, it’s good.

Apple or Android? I would prefer a Windows phone, but they don’t have some apps I need. I’d pick Apple over Android all day!
