Alan performs all functions relating to operation, maintenance, administration, software programming and testing for a 20,000 line telephone system, a 100 satellite PBX (USNH, Dunlap Ctr), a 200 line satellite PBX (UNHM, Manchester) and a 9,000 subscriber voice mail system. Boggles the mind doesn’t it? However, because of Alan our phone system operates so smoothly that we never have to think about the intricate details of how that happens. After retiring from Verizon, Alan came to UNH with vast experience and know-how. He enjoys working at UNH because he feels trusted and accepted as a member of the team. “My positive contribution, work ethics and experience are respected. I feel I am treated as a person, not just an employee with an ID number. I really like coming to work!”
