Jay Rice

Service Technician

Jay Rice has been with Southeast Pathology Instrument Service since 2010. With many years of factory trainings, in-house repair and expansive field work, Jay has acquired an exceptionally large base of knowledge regarding all the instruments he services.

Jay was born with a high aptitude of mechanical comprehension. While many of us as children were caught turning the family toaster, DVD player or anything we could attack with a screwdriver into a million pieces, young Jay was one of the few kids that could put the family appliances back together again in working order.

Jay grew up in Charleston and graduated from the College of Charleston in Fine Arts. An adept blacksmith and iron worker, Jay had the honor of being personally apprenticed with Phillip Simmons, a nationally acclaimed local African American blacksmith who for over fifty years created the finest wrought iron gate and fence work in Charleston.

Off work, Jay often enjoys strutting / shuffling / dancing down King Street in downtown Charleston, pretending to be Tony Manero (John Travolta) in the movie Saturday Night Fever.
