Hometown: Montezuma, Iowa
Ubisense Location: Denver, CO
Ubisense Department: RTLS Pre-sales
Education: Electrical Engineering / MBA
How long have you been with Ubisense and what is your background?
Corey: I began working with Ubisense in March of 2011. I spent the prior five years working in the on-board digital surveillance field for transit in both Bus and Rail.
What’s a typical day like for you?
Corey: If I’m in the office then a typical day begins early here in the Denver Tech Center (early enough to beat the majority of the rush hour). Once I’m settled in it’s time to catch up with the East Coast, discuss pipelines and upcoming visits before getting a chance to make it to that second cup of coffee! Staying up with the RFP distribution groups and catching up on emails can consume much of the morning. Preparing presentations, RFP completion, proposals and keeping up with Harry Pappas consumes the rest of the day!
What is the most significant trend you’ve seen in your field?
Corey: Over the course of the last few years (specifically with my previous employer) seeing the addition of RTLS in transit facilities and the fact that it continues to grow would be the most obvious and significant trend. The value of the services our product provides is unmatched when compared with wasted dollars and time savings.
How did you become interested in RTLS in Transit?
Corey: I didn’t know it but I became interested in RTLS in transit during my first visit to the Chicago garages five years ago with my previous employer. As contractors for the City of Chicago my crew and I wasted ridiculous amounts of time simply attempting to locate specific buses inside the garages.
What was your very first job?
Corey: My very first job was as an apprentice at a fiberglass/composite manufacturing company in Central Iowa. I did everything from picking up and delivering finished goods to sweeping the floor and painting the offices. I was however lucky enough to get a chance to work on not one, but two projects with the Walt Disney company building amusement park rides that are still extremely popular today.
What do you enjoy doing in your time off?
Corey: Of course spending time with my wonderful wife and three children (8, 7 and 3) as well as supporting their athletic endeavors and participating in their after school activities. I also enjoy golfing and Colorado State Football (although not so much this year…)
What is your favorite city?
Corey: This is a tough one as I’ve spent the majority of the last 15 years of my professional life traveling throughout the United States. Having been to quite a few I would have to pick Jackson Hole, Wyoming. It’s unmatched skiing and close proximity to Yellowstone National Park make it a close second to living here in Denver!
