Prior to joining CrossRealms he worked in Data Center Operations as an engineer for a global financial company at one of their regional datacenters. Before his job as a datacenter engineer, he worked as a UNIX systems administrator for an international law firm based in Chicago’s Loop. Phil currently works with virtual environments, backup and storage integration, and system deployments.

Support Engineer
Cassidy has been with CrossRealms since July, 2015 and immediately made an impact on our support team. He currently specializes in 3CX phone systems, but is excited to expand his expertise into backup and virtualization as well.
After serving in the U.S. Army for 6 years as an infantryman in Colorado, Cassidy moving to Chicago with his wife Dorothy, a native of the area. At the age of 13, he built his first PC, which he cites as the spark for his passion in technology. Because of his interest in anything related to electronic or mechanical, you’ll always find him reading up on the latest trends in the industry and playing PC games. Even though he no longer lives in Colorado, he still enjoys the outdoors, as well as the Colorado Avalanche and Denver Broncos.
When asked what gets him out of bed each day, Cassidy replied, “Crossrealms gives me the chance to expand my boundaries and learn new things on an almost daily basis, which gives me a firm foundation in many different environments and technologies. I’m able to work in general support all the way up to equipment deployment, and anything in between.”
