News / ZOB Webmaster Position Filled!
« on: November 19, 2016, 08:10:15 AM »
It is with profound gratitude and humble thanks that we bid goodbye to our friend and Webmaster/Facilities Engineer, Scott Gray.

Scott came to ZOB in May of 2014 to fill the Facilities Engineer role and a year later took on the Webmaster roll as well. Under his competent hand, our current website was developed and has served us well for several years. Scott has always been there to get it back together when we've had issues, as any busy website does.

Scott ran into some personal issues that prevented him from spending more time with us on the scopes, but even in the face of adversity, he has always been there for us in his staff roles. Scott has been a great asset to our ARTCC and we have depended on him heavily in the past several years. In the past few months, Scott had asked to relinquish his duties, but agreed to stay on at our request until we could find someone competent to fill his big shoes.

Now, we welcome "Wild" Bill Inman, to take over the Webmaster roll! Bill has extensive web development experience and has commenced work on a revamped ZOB website which we hope to get up and running within the next few months.  We are looking forward to exciting new innovations and some fresh ideas he brings to the table.

Please join me in offering our thanks to Scott Gray for his dedicated service, and help welcome "Wild" Bill Inman to the ZOB staff!
