A Thank You From The Coudersport Rotary To Speaker Casey Klesa
On September 16, 2024, Coudersport Rotary Club hosted Casey Klesa, Senior Data Communications Specialist at UPMC, as our speaker. Casey Klesa is the grandson of Rotarian Jim Plotts.
Casey has worked in Information Technology (IT) for 25 years. His interest started when he was 8 or 9 years old, when his grandfather, Rotarian Jim Plotts, set him down at a computer. He is thankful to have been exposed to this field at an early age. In college, he majored in Information Systems. He also worked at college, maintaining their computer labs and teaching courses. He started in programming but developed an interest in the hardware end of things. One of his professors was the Chief Information Officer at UPMC, and frequently came to Casey for ideas, which worked!
Upon graduation, he was offered a position at Susquehanna Health, where he started in 1999. Casey is responsible for security, server teams, infrastructure and maintenance, for voice (phone systems), computers, printers, and servers at 6 hospitals, 45 doctors’ offices, and 20,000 devices including phones, laptops, printers and their connections. His role is crucial in getting the medical results and information to provide your care. He has been a jack-of-all-trades, maintaining PC’s, servers and networks. There is a security team but he has to understand their issues in order to protect patient data and privacy. There
are security cameras operating 24/7. His goal is 99.999% up time.
