DEVON LISZKA

Devon joined Anchor in April of 2019. He brought an upbeat attitude and a big laugh that makes me laugh! And he has such a great voice, we had him record the greetings for our phone system!

Devon lives with his fiancé, Sarah, who he is proud to tell me does anthropology work for the National Parks Service. She works with Tribal liaisons to give artifacts back to the Tribes to which they belong. They share their house with two cats. He describes the two: “The slender black one is named Moon and he’s the sweetest. The other is a fat tortoiseshell named Bones and he’s the loudest!”

Devon tells me he likes working at Anchor because of our great team and great customers. He feels the environment is understanding and open while also accommodating individuals. He learns a lot from his Team and working with computers has always been his favorite thing to do! He brings A+ and Security + certifications with him.

My Dad put me on the hood of the car while he called for an ambulance. I was in the hospital for a week and a half and my knee was the side of a softball. I know I was young, but I remember it…the ambulance, my Dad freaking out, I definitely remember it.
