Karen graduated with honors from Minnesota State University, Mankato and holds a Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology. During her free time she mentors young women as a volleyball coach.
Leigh Reimers
Technical Engineer
If RJS Smart Security employed “The Most Interesting Man in the World,” one could argue our very own Network Security Engineer, Leigh Reimers, just might fit the bill. Leigh is a black-belt karate master and former United States Army tough guy. A “jack-of-all-trades,” Leigh often assists with product installation and support on the off-chance he isn’t solving more complex security conundrums as a certified Sophos Advanced Sales and Technology Engineer.
