vZTL Facility Engineer Announcement

Please join us in congratulating Garrett Criscione on becoming the next Facility Engineer for the Atlanta ARTCC. We’re excited to see his innovative vision guide the Facilities team forward, and we know he brings a tremendous wealth of knowledge to the role. Since joining the Facilities team in 2024, Garrett has been an active and invaluable contributor: creating many of our tower cabs, video maps, and other tools that strengthen the controller experience across ZTL.

We would also like to extend our sincere gratitude to Joe Kaiser for his outstanding service as Facility Engineer. Joe has served gracefully in this role since October 2020, leading the transition of our systems to CRC and ensuring the technical backbone of ZTL remained strong and reliable. Beyond his FE work, Joe served nearly three years as an Instructor and earned his C3 in March 2024. Joe, thank you for your leadership, dedication, and countless contributions to this team.

Congratulations, Garrett, and thank you, Joe, for everything you’ve done for Atlanta.
