Paul Sidoriak has joined Systems as an account manager in the Missoula area. Under Thad McGrail’s direction, Paul will work with existing and prospective clients to assist them with IT-related business challenges. Paul had been keeping an eye out for an opportunity that drew upon his experiences in business development and allowed for opportunities to learn new skills.

Paul attended Lyndon State College in Northern Vermont and specialized in commercial recreation management with a special emphasis on the ski industry. Most recently, Paul has been a business consultant for outdoor cooking manufacturers and “has tested and reviewed more grills, smokers, griddles, and pizza ovens than I can remember.” Paul is a strong advocate for small businesses in Montana and enjoys working with them to drive revenue. He’s looking forward to continuously expanding his knowledge and skills and staying at the forefront of industry trends and innovations.

Fun Facts: Paul was recently certified as a Scuola Italiana Pizzaioli from the North American Pizza and Culinary Academy and received an international degree as a Master Pizza Instructor from Accademia Pizzaioli. He’s also written two cookbooks on outdoor cooking and was named one of North America’s top 10 BBQ experts a few years ago.

In his spare time, Paul enjoys fly-fishing and container gardening during the warmer months. After relocating to Whitefish from Vermont in 1996, he’s lived in Missoula with his wife, Chery, since 1998, and they recently adopted a cat. And Paul says if there’s anything else that you’d like to know about him, “feel free to ask!”

Welcome, Paul!
