Q: Tell us about some of your background in Telecom/Wireless?

Q: What drew you to come to work for INFINIGY?
A: I talked to John Stevens (INFINIGY's Founder) on a phone call and after he explained what he was starting, I was sold.
Q: How do you balance the duties of managing Engineering Services for a very busy Southeast Region at INFINIGY?
A: The Telecom Industry is like Differential Equations (which I took twice), it weeds out the folks that can't handle it. You have to learn to adapt to the changing ways of Telecom or you get left behind. Manage your time and help your colleagues get better at helping themselves.
Q: What do you find most satisfying about your day-to-day work?
A: I enjoy the challenges of managing my regions day-to-day affairs as it is every changing and something new.
Q: List some of your hobbies/interests outside of work?

Q: When did you start with INFINIGY?
A: August 2019
Q: Tell us about some of your background in Telecom/Wireless?
A: I started on the structural side, performing tower analyses and retrofits. I took over a team and we covered just about every structure type in the industry. After a while, I was asked to jump into A&E and oversee CD production as well. Since then, it's been a little bit of everything. MODs, FTI, NSB, Small Cell, Relo, Gens, Drop and Swap, DAS, Transport, and even some OSP.
Q: What drew you to come work for INFINIGY?
A: The people and the culture. When I interviewed, I was drawn into the team environment where everyone seemed to genuinely enjoy working together.
Q: How do you balance P/E (ROR, engineer of record) duties along with managing Engineering Services for a very busy West Region at INFINIGY?
A: I work with a lot of great people who are all excellent at their jobs. My job is to put people in the right position and give them what they need to provide an excellent product for our customers. Having the luxury to fully trust my team allows me to focus on the items that require my direct attention.
Q: What do you find most satisfying about your day-to-day work?
A: I like to find solutions, and doing so collaboratively is the best form of that. One day I can be helping on a technical design, and the next I can be supporting a Project Manager in dealing with a difficult jurisdiction. Navigating the technical as well as the interpersonal to find a solution brings satisfaction to every day.
Q: List some of your hobbies/interests outside of work?
A: I like to play trivia weekly-ish (lately it has moved to Zoom), brew my own beer, support the Miami Dolphins and Miami Heat, fiddle with my Rubik's cube, and I have an ever-increasing collection of board games.
INFINIGY recently launched an EME/RF Engineering Division and now has the capability to run RF Safety/EME, NIER and Intermod studies.

INFINIGY’s number one concern during the Covid-19 pandemic is to keep everyone including our employees, clients, and contractors safe. We are continuing to operate business as usual without putting business considerations above the health of our employees. The US Department of Homeland Security released a statement requesting all courtesies be extended to any workers insuring the continuance of essential communication infrastructure facilities. As professional service providers to the wireless telecommunication industry, we need to continue servicing wireless communication sites to the extent it is reasonably feasible, provided operations meets or exceeds the social distancing requirements of keeping at least six (6)feet of distance between others at all times.
INFINIGY employees that are able, are being asked and set-up to work remotely from home. This policy not only protects our employees from potential exposure to COVID-19 but also allows us to continue meeting all deadlines to our clients.
After 19 years, INFINIGY’s Founder and CEO John Stevens has decided to step down to pursue new opportunities outside of the Telecom Services. Scott Loubier, current Vice President of Site Acquisition, has been named the company’s new CEO effective February 10th 2020. John will continue to stay on in an advisory role to ensure a smooth transition. Stevens feels “Scott is a leader with a wealth of experience both with INFINIGY and in the Wireless industry. Both Magic and I felt it was important to promote from within and Scott is a great candidate to drive INFINIGY’s success.”
