With 22 years of experience working in the IT industry, Brian Lacey joined the Managed Solution team as the Director of Technical Services on Monday, November 16, 2015. He started his career as a Tier 1 service desk analyst for a company responsible for providing support to NAPA auto part dealers. From there, Brian had roles such as lead programmer, project manager, implementation lead, and subject matter expert. Brian comes to Managed Solution from Accenture where he spent the last 13 years managing application outsourcing contracts and staff responsible for delivering the service.
Brian was born and raised in a small town near Peoria, IL. He attended college and spent the first 16 years of his career in Illinois as well. In 2009, Brian jumped at the opportunity to transfer within his company to manage an application outsourcing contract with a client based in San Diego, CA.
Brian is married with two small children and one dog. His son is four and his daughter is two, which keeps him entertained as well as on his toes constantly. His dog, Harley, is an escape artist as he somehow finds a way to break free from any type of containment which includes opening doors.
When Brian isn't in the office he enjoys spending time with his family and watching and participating in sports. Brian is a die-hard Chicago Cubs, Bulls and Bears fan. He also enjoys learning about investing and monitoring the stock market but as of now he seems to be good at only losing money.
Brian has had the opportunity to travel extensively. His favorite places he's visited are Australia and Argentina and the most interesting was India. Another fun fact about Brian, he has a twin brother who also lives in San Diego.
Please join me in welcoming Brian Lacey to the Managed Solution team!

This #GivingTuesday support @jitfosteryouth & contribute to a better future for San Diego’s foster youth.
This is a great opportunity for you to give thanks for your good fortune over the next few days. Please consider taking time out between now and midnight on December 1st, Giving Tuesday, to make a gift to the young adults in our community who need our support at this critical juncture in their lives. When you do you'll become part of a collective effort, launched four years ago as a global call-to-action. Giving Tuesday allows us all to come together in a short window of time to make a real impact in our communities.
And the opportunity for our JIT Community is even greater this year because we can take advantage of “matching funds” from the Century Club of San Diego, the philanthropic group that puts on the prestigious Farmers Insurance Open PGA Golf Tournament at Torrey Pines each January. This year, Just in Time has been selected as one of only 12 nonprofit beneficiaries of the tournament.
When you make a fully tax-deductible contribution between now and midnight on Giving Tuesday at the link below, the Century Club will pay the credit card fees, add funds from a bonus pool, and then transfer the full amount of your gift to Just in Time!
Our goal this Giving Tuesday is to raise $50,000 from our community of support and receive a $25,000 match from the Century Club to invest in the hundreds of young people who leave foster care each year and count on Just in Time to be the family that every child deserves. We cannot achieve this $75,000 goal without you, so before midnight on Giving Tuesday, December 1st, please donate to The Century Club on behalf of Just in Time for Foster Youth.

The Managed Solution team had a great time laughing for a cause last night at The Live Well Project's Comedy Show Fundraiser - Glam It Up For Our Girls
The Managed Solution team joined Jennell Mott and the Live Well Project for a hosted bar, comedy digs by Monique Marvez (as seen on Snoop Dogs Bad Girls of Comedy), and awesome raffle/auction prizes last night.
All proceeds benefit The Live Well Project, helping hundreds of at-risk, homeless and abused girls in the San Diego community. Help us get them off the streets, off drugs and into college.

Casey Bertrand joined the Managed Solution team as a Technical Support Specialist on November 2, 2015. He joins us with a background in sales, customer service and IT, actually beginning his IT career training after an injury that had left him slightly disabled. He says he’s held a variety of positions that were enjoyable in hindsight one of the best being with San Diego Sailing Tours as a first mate.
Casey was born and raised in south Louisiana in a very tiny town; a place not even large enough to need a single hanging traffic light. At the age of 17, he moved to San Diego county and has been here ever since, he loves it! Casey has a son who he says he loves dearly and enjoys spending time with, he is also adventurous and loves exploring the outdoors. He’s been skydiving before and enjoys exploring new eateries, areas like Spruce St suspension bridge, and finding cool spots to see the downtown skyline. He says he would really like to explore abroad one day and could see himself living at the beach. He also loves cooking (and eating), motorcycles, water sports, and snow - he’ll be learning to snowboard this winter.
Although Casey has a love for adventure, he also says he’s a super nerd at heard - aren’t we all! He is currently working toward his CCNA and learning another language. We’re excited to have him on board, welcome to the Managed Solution team Casey Bertrand!
