Socketeer Spotlight: John Weant, Business Center Analyst
![]() |
John Weant was chosen as Socket’s You-Make-the-Difference-Award winner for June. John started at Socket as a technical support representative about three years ago. He currently serves as a tier III business center analyst, resolving tough technical problems for Socket's business clients and assisting with the occasional telephone service installation.
"John has recently gone above and beyond for two different customers that were experiencing trouble," said a fellow Socket employee who nominated John for the award. "He dispatched himself to ensure our customers were up and working."
Originally from Moberly, MO, John has been spending his summer taking bike rides with his family, working in the yard and just enjoying the sunshine. He also likes to play with computers and video games when the weather's not so great.
"I'm very humbled to win the award," John said. "I truly believe everyone at Socket makes a difference, and it's a real team effort here."
Socket's You-Make-the-Difference Award is given monthly to the employee who best exemplifies Socket's Core Values and Beliefs. Recipients of the award are nominated and voted on by their peers. To view other winners, visit www.socket.net/ymtd.
