Full Biography

After years of working for other groups and companies, I struck out on my own 13 years ago. My goal was to provide high quality - high touch services for the small business and small organization where the impact would be felt the greatest, and the value of the services provided were well understood and exceeded their cost. I think we succeed.

By providing computer and network services, web hosting, email, messgaing, and strategy in one source,  we help the small business/org by having the wholistic view of their technology needs and uses. We can see what they're doing across the board, and assist in strategically planning the next phase so as to capitalize and amplify on prior technology and processes in place.
