Bio
Marie Carlson
I’ve had the pleasure of working with Lonnie Lehman while at Lutheran Life Communities for over 13 years. He is the consummate professional. In addition to his courtesy – he always called me ‘Mam’ from his years of military service - he knows what he’s doing. He was always able to remedy any IT problem that confounded others. His customer service orientation is exemplary and his intentionality in staying on top of the ever-changing IT world keeps him an active learner and forward thinking.

Lonnie is one of the best people I know. I have worked with him for many years and he has been a valued and trusted colleague. He is the perfect combination of exceptionally smart and fun loving, in a humble sort of way. And the genuine place he comes from makes you feel safe. The breadth of knowledge he has for Information technology and computers is extensive and far-reaching. If he doesn’t know the answer to a question, he will, without hesitation, work until he finds a solution. He consistently goes above and beyond and is always willing to help. Lonnie leads with integrity, doesn’t pull any punches and has a penchant for doing what’s right. His character is both admirable and refreshing. You would be lucky to have him.
