Professional Background

President

IT4SOHO, LLC

January 2001 – Present

Saint Petersburg, FL, USA

Dan is the owner and founder of IT4SOHO, LLC. This company seeks to work with small business partners, where IT4SOHO serves and acts as the IT Department for the client business.
- IT4SOHO assists in all areas of technology -- equipment purchases through retirement and disposal; desktops, servers, laptops, infrastructure equipment, and so on.
- IT4SOHO also manages servers (Microsoft, Linux, Apple, Solaris, and multiple NAS appliances are all common) and typical services on them (email, web, database, remote access, etc).
- IT4SOHO is also a re-seller for VoIP telephony PBX systems and VoIP trunking voice services.
While we do not necessarily directly provide all services (for example, we do not do database development), we do find appropriate contractors to provide the service, and then manage the account for our client.
