Engineer Today, as Technical Support Engineer, Gordon provides network and desktop support, monitors customers network health, manages imaging procedures, develops digital libraries as well as assists with the research and development of new products. Gordon was born in Lubbock, TX and raised in Phoenix, AZ. He married his high school sweetheart, Kim, and they have been together for 12 years. In addition to a passion for technology, Gordon also has a passion for music. He has played trombone since he was a teen and toured Europe with the Phoenix Youth Orchestra. Angie Finnell, Director of Educational Services At NPCE, Angie plays a key role in developing and implementing all educational programs and services. In addition, she builds and supports content and learning management systems, designs and manages e-mail marketing campaigns, and establishes and manages education program teams. Angie earned a master’s degree in technology education from Northern Arizona University, a bachelor’s degree from Bradley University and is a professional member of the Academy of Boys and Girls Club Professionals. When not busy satisfying her passion for technology and education, Angie enjoys the outdoors and being active. She can often been seen playing tennis at local courts or hiking/running on many of the local desert trails. Mary Beth Sabbagh, VP of Administration & HR Getting tired of the dreary (and cold) winters of Ohio, she moved to Arizona during the sunny and hot days of summer. She briefly worked at the Red Cross in their emergency services division and was contacted by a social service agency in Mesa, Arizona. She became a Case Management Director for a transitional housing program for homeless families with children, assisting in their self-sufficiency. She worked at the agency for several years before starting NPCE with her husband, Abraham. In the initial days of the business, she also was an assistant teacher for a Montessori program, working with pre-school through kindergarten age children. She now works full-time for NPCE, Inc., handling the accounting and Human Resources aspects of the company; unlike the other team members, Mary Beth is not a “tech junkie”. She is more comfortable “crunching” numbers, developing policies and procedures and making sure the internal operations of the Company run smoothly. She also juggles the sports, music, and other extra-curricular activities of their two children. |
Born in Aleppo, Syria and raised in Beirut Lebanon, Abraham “Ebby” Sabbagh relocated to Arizona in 1990 with his parents and brother.

A true computer junkie since he got his first computer in 1982 – a Timex/Sinclair 1000 – Scott Burg has always been eager to learn more and do more with technology. When he was 17, Scott got his first job in the technology field, as a programmer writing modules for custom-designed business applications in Turbo Pascal. 
Gordon has been working with computers since purchasing
his first computer for 6 dollars at a local swap meet when he
was just 15 years old. Since that time, his energy and
excitement for technology has never diminished. As a
technology professional, Gordon has extensive experience in a
variety of management roles in the technology and business
sectors. Prior to joining the NPCE team, Gordon was
employed by several Valley technology companies, including PC
Club, 2Wire and Avnet.

Previously, she worked with a violence prevention center, assisting in the analysis and automation of client intake processes.
Mary Beth was born and raised in Ohio. She received her undergraduate degree in Sociology and Anthropology from Denison University. She obtained her Masters Degree in Social Work, with an emphasis in counseling, from Ohio State University.
