Matt Hansen

Student Team Lead

Hi, my name is Matt Hansen and I am a sophomore working towards my B.S in Networking. I graduated from Snider High School and Anthis Career Center in 2010. While at Anthis Career Center I earned my Comptia A+ and Net + certifications, and graduated at the top of both of those classes being one of the top IT support techs at the school. I am a competitive power lifter and broke a state record for squat and dead lift my senior year in high school. During high school I also worked on the schools website, ran the football website, also created, hosted and ran the fine arts website. In 2008 I started my own PC repair business, which spawned the official beginning date of working in IT. I have been working here at Tech since the beginning of my freshman year, and hope to continue for all 4 years.

Jamaal Crichfield

Tier 1

My name is Jamaal Crichfield, and I am actually a sophomore, but prior to arriving at Indiana Tech I received an Associate of Applied Science in Computer Information Technology with a concentration on Networking at Ivy Tech Community College. Over the past 3 years I have been exposed to a wide variety of areas in IT such as: desktop support, server administration, switch configuration, routing, security, directory systems, databases, web design, and programming. Most of my IT experience I acquired through my previous employments and internship. In the past I have done residential computer work around my community but unfortunately with my scheduling I have moved away from IT outside work. However, I am more then willing to answer any questions if you see me around campus, but I try to stay away from working on personal computers since I now represent the IT department. Professionally, I currently hold the CompTIA Network+, and A+ certifications, but at the moment I am currently training for my CCNA. Apart from hopefully working my way up to being a Network Engineer, I believe that God has a plan for my life and if I could get any job that would allow me serve others using my skills I would be well satisfied.

Stedmon Bates

Tier 1

Hi, I’m currently a junior here at Indiana Tech. I transferred here after completing my associates IT degree at Ivy Tech Community college. I love working in IT, I’m most comfortable working with people and computers. I have my A+ and Net+. I’m a networking major and currently in the Cyber Defense Club. Outside of studying networking I like watching and playing sports. Most favorite sport is basketball. I also like reading about business and psychology, two topics I enjoyed in high school. My future goals are to graduate from here with a 3.5 or better GPA, and craft my networking/IT skills so I can become a networking consultant in the future so I can travel around the world correcting network issues. I look forward to helping you on campus!
