Employee Spotlight: Harley Wolfarth
Harley Wolfarth, Technical Support Manager
You've probably all become acquainted with Delta Media Group's Harley Wolfarth, Technical Support Manager, during his "Tech Tuesday" broadcasts. Here's a chance to take a minute to get to know a little bit more about him.
How long have you worked at Delta Media Group?
2 1/2 years
What is your role at Delta Media Group?
Managing the Technical Support Department and training agents and administrators to use the DeltaNet platform via both individual training and weekly live stream videos.
What is your favorite thing about working at Delta Media Group?
Learning. Since starting here I've learned more about programming, web development, and networking than I've ever known. It seems like I'm always coming across new information and finding new ways to do things both in and out of the DeltaNet. There's a very knowledgeable group of people here and I've been able to pick up a lot from them.
Before working at Delta Media Group, what was your most unusual job?Â
I once worked a single shift from 7pm to 7am at a place that manufactured plastic security cases for CDs. Remember when music stores sold CDs in those plastic cages that were twice the size of the CD case itself and they had to use a special tool to get the CD case out when you bought it? Those things.
This factory basically had two machines in a line that weren't really built to work together so my whole job was to take the plastic cage from the first machine and lay it on a belt in such a way that it would go into the second machine with the correct orientation. The second machine snapped the cages closed and spit them out so I could put them in a box.
I like to have to think about what I'm doing most of the time so that job was agony for me. The most exciting moments were when the second machine jammed and had to be cleared while the first machine was still pushing out those plastic cages… Riveting stuff.Â
What do you like to do outside of work?
I mostly chase my 4 year old. I used to be a big movie buff but it's amazing how difficult it is to string 2 hours together with a toddler. Therefore, most of my free (and child free) time goes to video games that can be digested in 30 minute increments. Rocket League and Overwatch are filling that hole nicely these days.
If you could have one superpower what would it be?
Definitely telekinesis. From a purely fantastical standpoint I envision moving enormous objects with my mind. Parting the "Red Sea" of traffic for example or traveling to another planet in a psychic bubble. A more realistic scenario would probably come down to hovering the TV remote to my hand to save me from getting up off the couch.
What is on your bucket list?
Someday I would like to look down from an altitude so high that, in the middle of the day, the sky is more black than blue. I've heard the view from the top of Everest is like that. Even better, you can ride along in an extreme high altitude plane flight that gets you so high the sky becomes black and you and actually make out the curvature of the earth. I've always loved a good view.
