Genesis Employee Spotlight: Jon Hernandez 🌟
Jon is a steady and trusted presence on our Support Team, bringing deep technical expertise and a genuine care for people into everything he does.
Ask Jon what stands out most about working at Genesis, and it’s not just the work; it’s the culture. “I have been blown away over the last three years by the generosity of the people here and the collective mindset of both work and community goals. Everyone is invested in ensuring the company's success and supporting the community outreach opportunities that Genesis offers.”
One of his favorite memories goes back to his very first customer visit. After their work was done, he and Support Team Lead T.J. Chapman found themselves with a little free time. This turned into a rain-soaked sightseeing adventure through Washington, D.C. Not exactly ideal weather, but no doubt unforgettable.
Day in and day out, Jon continues to impress us with his professionalism, heart for service, and deep understanding of the inner workings of Genesis software. He is a go-to guy for our Support Team and a trusted partner to our customers.
We are grateful for Jon as well as his personal support team, his family, lifting him up behind the scenes.
🎉 Happy Birthday, Jim Nipp! 🎉
Anyone who knows Jim knows he is a force of nature, leading, serving, inspiring, and raising the bar for all of us. Jim is a champion of innovation and a key contributor to the advancement of the Land Mobile Radio industry. He is also passionate about his role as a servant-leader, giving generously of his time, talents, and resources to make our communities better. “Whoever would be great among you must be your servant” (Matthew 20:26). Jim doesn’t lead from the top down; he leads from the front, serving others first. Our core values of integrity, inspiration, and generosity are written on his heart.
“May integrity and uprightness protect me, because my hope, LORD, is in you” (Psalm 25:21). His character is consistent, steady, and rooted in doing what’s right.
“Let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven” (Matthew 5:16).
“Whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me” (Matthew 25:40).
Jim, thank you for the way you lead, the way you serve, and the way you invest in people. Genesis is stronger because of you. We are better because of you. Have a GREAT day, Jim!

What a week at IWCE (the International Wireless Communications Expo) in Las Vegas! As always, it exceeded our expectations in every way.
Many of the partners and friends we work with every day were leading discussions, sharing their in-depth knowledge and real-world experiences. Learning from them firsthand was both inspiring and a powerful reminder of the caliber of people in this community.
One of the things we always appreciate most about IWCE is the Voice of the Customer. We do not have to wonder about the challenges our customers face in the field. We can sit in the audience and take notes as they stand on stage and talk about the real problems they are solving every day. It is hard to imagine better product feedback than that.
We walked away with fresh insights, new perspectives, and a deeper understanding of where the Land Mobile Radio industry is headed. IWCE continues to bring together the full spectrum of critical communications, from 911 centers to enterprise security, all united around one mission, moving the industry forward.
And honestly, gatherings like this feel less like a business conference and more like a family reunion. Getting to spend time with our tribe, the professionals we have the privilege of calling customers, friends, no, family, is what makes weeks like this so special.
So we leave Vegas inspired, energized, and grateful.

🌟 Genesis Employee Spotlight: Barry Hafer 🌟
This month, we’re proud to shine the spotlight on Barry Hafer, our Genesis eBONDS Support Integration Training Representative, who has been part of the Genesis family for 9 months.
Barry says it’s hard to choose just one favorite thing about working here, but what stands out most is how often we come together to celebrate success, celebrate each other, and celebrate life. From team events and big meetings to charitable opportunities and spontaneous celebrations, Barry loves the way Genesis feels like a big family when we are all together.
One of his most unforgettable memories? Bonding with the team while sheltering from potential tornadoes in the “storm shelter” (also known as the men’s room). This happened in the middle of his interview, no less. Talk about an icebreaker.
More recently, Barry had the honor of playing Santa at the Coats for Kids event. For many children, it was their very first time meeting Santa. Hearing whispers of “I think that’s really Santa!” made the experience even more special. Seeing the joy on their faces filled his cup to overflowing.
Barry, we’re grateful for your heart for people, your team spirit, and the joy you bring to Genesis.

🌶️ Things Got Spicy at Genesis!🌶️
Our Annual Chili & Soup Cookoff brought the heat, the flavor, and a little friendly competition. There were bold spices, secret family recipes (that some of us found on the Internet), a large bottle of Tums, and at least one pot that probably required a signed waiver. ALL of the dishes were mind-blowingly delicious!
After careful tasting (and a few second helpings), here are this year’s champions:
🔥 Chili Winners:
1st – John Williams
2nd – Jan Roberts
3rd – Alex Macaulay
🍲 Soup Winners:
1st – Stacey Sigwald
2nd – Samantha Snow
3rd – Caroline Gage
The best part is it brought our Genesis family together for a little fun and fellowship…And that’s always time well spent!

Family is what it is all about at Genesis. There’s nothing sweeter than hearing little footsteps and laughter echo through our hallways, and we’re about to add another precious note to the melody. Our very own eBONDS Customer Integration Representative, Daniel Custer, and his wife, Maggie, are preparing to welcome a baby boy! Custer family, we are so excited for you. We’re praying for a smooth delivery and a healthy mom and baby, and we can’t wait to meet your newest little blessing!
