WHY CLOUD MATRIX IT
My professional journey began at 16 working at the local Dairy Queen. Every aspect of operating a fast-food joint came easy to me. By the time I graduated, ownership wanted to train me to manage the place in a few years. Made sense to me. It was a lot of work, but I was really good at it. I thought, “this is what I’m supposed to do”.
Shortly after graduation, I began to think that there was something else out there for me, something "more" I should be doing. But I had no idea what that was. I had little to no prospects and no way to pay for college. So, I decided to take a huge chance on something unknown to me. To do something that was way out of left field. I joined the Marine Corps to become a combat photographer. Not knowing at the time that it would immediately get me started in the information technology field.
With over 24 years in the field, a degree in network security, and some incredible tech roles along the way, I now get to do something truly rewarding. Leveraging everything I've learned—from my time in the United States Marine Corps and my experiences in both business and tech (and yes, even a stint serving ice cream)—I help people develop, deploy, secure, and manage their technology so they can focus on what drives them. It's pretty awesome.
"We believe every business deserves the opportunity to grow and be successful. So, we make it our goal to help you get there by creating a smooth and secure IT environment."
