ISI is very proud of the talented group of telecommunications professionals that we have assembled over the years.  With an average employee tenure of over 10 years, we take tremendous pride in our efforts and accomplishments.  Following are short profiles of some of our staff:

She began her telecommunications career in 1979 with T.I.E., Inc. which was one of the first independent telephone companies in Maryland. From there, Debbie moved to a position as a communications analyst for Maryland National Bank. When New York based Tel Plus Communications expanded to the mid-Atlantic region, they recruited Debbie to manage their Customer Service department. During her years at Tel Plus, Debbie married our President, Gary Schuchart and decided to join the Interconnect Services team in 1988 as a Designer/Trainer, a position she held for the next ten years. In 1998 Debbie became more involved in special projects and management and continues in that capacity today.
