Alberto Has Retired!

I wanted to take the time to acknowledge Alberto Recinto and to recognize him for over 10 years of service to Briscoe. Alberto was always everyone’s first choice when needing a helper to assist in their work. Whether it was providing a panel install, troubleshooting system issues or performing inspections, Alberto was always at the ready, always smiling, and never complained. Truly a key member of the Briscoe team. He is a deeply religious man who showed great care for his fellow co-workers and our customers as well during his time here at Briscoe. He will be missed by all of us, especially by his steady workmate, Alex. Thank you, Alberto. Happy retirement, good luck with everything, and best wishes from your Briscoe family.

Alberto Alex

CUSTOMER SPOTLIGHT

SPOTLIGHT ON EMPLOYEES

Jennifer Cicero

Ricardo Cusatti

Jen has worked for Briscoe a little over a year now and is a part time staff accountant. She takes care of invoices, tracking renewals, reconciling accounts, updating our client database, tracking invoices with our “sister companies”, taking care of parking tickets, and is always available to assist her department wherever help is needed. When Jen is not working she enjoys spending time with her husband and three daughters as well as friends. Her favorite places to go are the beach or a concert, because she loves music.

Ricardo has been with Briscoe for 5 years. In addition to his proficiency in alarm installation, troubleshooting and running pipe, he recently had the opportunity to do programming on an IO FACP as well as other manufacturers systems and do some extreme troubleshooting.

When Ricardo is not working, he is enjoying his 5 beautiful children, basketball watching soccer games, going to the beach, restaurants and the movies.

The Ramaz School The Ramaz School is a co-educational, Modern Orthodox Day School that was founded in 1937 with just six children. Today, to walk the halls of Ramaz is to experience a vibrant and supportive community, dedicated to educating children who are the Jewish future. You will find students receiving the gold standard in Judaic and general studies education, and you will marvel at the breadth and depth of their co-curricular opportunities. To be a student at Ramaz is to be given the tools and encouragement to grow personally, religiously, and spiritually. Ramaz teaches children from nursery through twelfth grade, but their education lasts for a lifetime.
