How I help . . .

I help companies simplify and strengthen their technology by providing outsourced IT services that feel like an extension of their team. My focus is on delivering responsive support, proactive strategies, and clear communication so organizations can stay secure, efficient, and focused on growth.

Many businesses either don’t have a full IT department or their internal team is stretched thin. That’s where I step in—bridging the gap by creating technology roadmaps, managing implementation, and ensuring ongoing alignment with business goals. I bring structure and clarity to IT planning, making sure every stakeholder understands not just the “what,” but also the “why” and “how.”

By combining hands-on problem solving with long-term planning, I work to earn trust across the organization. Whether it’s day-to-day IT support, cybersecurity, or guiding strategic technology initiatives, my role is to keep technology working for the business—not the other way around.

MEET CHRIS
“Growing up in a small town, I was surrounded by a tight-knit community that deeply cares for one another. I was taught early on the importance of giving back, having a strong work ethic, and going above + beyond for your neighbor.”

Q&A with Chris

What does above + beyond mean to you?
It’s about doing more than expected or thought was possible. It's a mindset, a willingness, a desire to be better and do more. My expectation for myself and those on my team is to provide a service that is truly above + beyond.
What does being a strategic ally mean to you?
Helping other leaders build and have confidence in future plans for their business or organization.
What type of sports are you good at?
I played college basketball and football, but now enjoy less demanding activities. My go-to is now golf, but I also love to ski when we go to Colorado for vacations.
What are you most proud of and why?
My family. Through thick and thin, they love unconditionally, follow their faith, support one another and are blindly selfless. Any one of them will do whatever it takes to make this world a better place.
