Software Support Specialist

Cole Ridgely

Cole graduated from Iowa State University in 2019 with a bachelor’s degree in Elementary Education. Following graduation, he worked as a middle school reading teacher from 2020-2022. He’s excited to bring his teaching background into his current role as Software Support Specialist, helping his teammates better understand and utilize current and emerging technologies.

When not working I enjoy reading, painting miniature figurines, and going on adventures with Jenna and our dogs.

Favorite Local Restaurant

Cool Basil - Clive

Favorite Vacation Destination

Dillon Colorado. It has a comfy small town feel while also being conveniently close to many hiking/skiing areas. It's even better in the quieter parts of the year when there aren't as many other tourists overwhelming the area.

What I Enjoy About My Job

I love to help and teach others, and seeing that light of understanding spark behind their eyes. This job allows me to continue guiding others through learning new things, which helps to keep me learning as well!
