About Don

Meet Don Reese — our behind-the-scenes problem solver. Don is a retired software engineer with 50+ years of programming experience. He worked with major telecoms—including Verizon and Bell Labs—building reliable, large-scale systems. He is also a proud U.S. Air Force veteran who, right after boot camp, was assigned to the Pentagon as a computer programmer.

What Don handles for SuziBee

• Security & privacy: locked access for Choate families, backups, updates
• Memberships & checkout: “see only what you purchased,” payments, automations
• Performance & uptime: speed, troubleshooting, hosting hygiene
• Spam defense: keeping bots and fake registrations out

Why it matters

You see a friendly portal; Don sees hundreds of tiny details that must work perfectly so your experience is simple, safe, and reliable. His quiet superpower is turning complexity into “it just works.”

Fun fact: If something feels magically easy on the site, Don probably built it that way.
