The EdZapp Team
EdZapp is a small and nimble organization with extraordinary talent and dedication to our work–so we can help schools and districts optimize HR processes to be more effective and efficient. A little more about our team:
Our seasoned HR professionals and passionate educators apply their real-world experience to manage EdZapp’s product development and training functions. Jennifer, Jim, Lori, and Roger reach out to college students, career centers, job-seekers, and employers like trouble-shooting, problem-solving superheroes so they can continually refine EdZapp’s services.
- Jennifer manages Product Development at EdZapp. With an MBA from Berkeley and an elementary teacher certification, she has a unique ability to see both the forest AND the trees. She needs both of these credentials at home with her husband and pre-school-aged son as well (no comment on which credential is required for each).
- Jim, EdZapp Ambassador, was actually the original “developer” of a statewide (paper) application that eventually evolved into EdZapp. A “retired” school administrator, HR Director, and state School Personnel Association Executive Director, he now splits his time between running, biking, EdZapp, and supporting worthy social causes. Jim’s credibility, integrity, and athleticism are simply above reproach.
- Lori became EdZapp’s Delivery & Support Manager back in 2005, with a background in HR and supervisory training. Having a techie for a husband, and two tween-aged daughters, Lori has been known to write her own SQL scripts and debug code on the site–while on family vacations–as “therapy!”
- Roger’s role as Recruiting Specialist continues to evolve as he meets with superintendents, HR leaders, and college career center counselors. A certified teacher and administrator in two states, Roger has 19 years of school administrator experience including time as a principal and central office HR Director, and has a passion for the art of recruiting that is rivaled only by his passion for enjoying the great outdoors!
Our experienced technologists manage EdZapp’s hosting infrastructure, data architecture, and user interface. No matter how simple or complex your recruiting, screening, tracking, or hiring needs may be, Anthony, Dave, Marlon, Pam, and Scott will combine their techie brain-power to provide inventive, customized solutions.
- Anthony is EdZapp’s data center manager, who guarantees that the hardware and network that support the EdZapp system are up-and-running all the time. He has a decent sense of humor for a guy who monitors little blinking lights all day and all night.
- Dave is our “Rock Star Developer” who is actually, well, a rock star. He has performed with several bands on three continents and more than a dozen states. He was one of the original developers of EdZapp, and is still jammin’ with us when he’s not with his wife, Joan (a star in her own right), or running a marathon.
- Floyd & Gayle are responsible for our Document Management function, scanning hundreds of thousands of transcripts, letters of recommendation, and resumes each year. Because pages fly through our high-capacity commercial-grade scanners at 100ppm, Floyd no longer wears a tie and Gayle leaves her necklaces at home.
- Pam is our Database Administrator, and monitors our site activity like a cat watching a ball of yarn. With years of big-name experience at Honda, Taco Bell, and Sprint, she is helping EdZapp’s database grow while purring along. Of course, she also loves cats.
- Scott is our Senior Developer and Chief Problem Solver. His uncanny ability to anticipate and solve issues before they become problems is a huge benefit for EdZapp. Out of respect to his wife and four kids, we don’t allow him to work more than 80 hours per week.
Our Founder and CEO, T.J. Chandler, contributes his entrepreneurship, wit, and versatile background as an educator and a business leader to pave the way for EdZapp’s success. As such, he gets his own EdZapp Founder page…
