This spotlight is on Project Coordinator Nathan Cartmel.

• What do you like most about working in the managed IT services industry?

I love that it is an always changing, always evolving industry. There are always new things to learn and new products being developed. It also plays a key role with any business, and I like to know that we make a difference in what we do every day!

• What do you like most about your current role?

I enjoy that no two days are ever the same! We work on a wide range of projects for both new and existing clients at Atlas. I also really enjoy building working relationships with our clients and working with our project team to upgrade and improve the clients’ professional IT solutions and environment!

• What do you like most about working at Atlas?

The best thing about working at Atlas is the people. We have a great working culture that everyone plays an important role in and fits into. It’s great to be around all the awesome people we have in our office every day!

• Tell us about your family and where you’re from.

  

  The Clifton Suspension Bridge in Bristol, UK, where Nathan is from.

My accent being the dead giveaway, I am from Bristol, which is in southwest England. I am biased, but it’s the best city in the UK, and I would always recommend it to anyone visiting! My parents and extended family still live in Bristol, so I always love going home to visit.

• What’s your favorite sports team or sport?

Sports are my thing! Being from England, my first love is football (soccer). I have supported the Bristol Rovers since childhood and would always go to home and away games with my dad. I am also a huge fan of the back-to-back Stanley Cup Champions, The Tampa Bay Lightning. I’m a current season ticket holder and was lucky enough to be there in person to see them win the Cup last year against Montreal. I am also a big Buccaneers fan. Growing up, I would always take vacations from England to Tampa to watch both the Lightning and Bucs play.

• What are some small things that make your day better?

Iced coffee, listening to a favorite album, good conversations, or a happy hour beer on a Friday!
