What is your "why"? Why do you do what you do?
I’m a husband, a father of three—with one more on the way—and like many of the business owners I work with, I care deeply about creating stability, security, and a future I can stand behind. That’s a big part of why I do what I do.
In today’s world, technology runs everything—and when it breaks down or isn’t protected, it puts people, businesses, and livelihoods at risk. I’ve seen what happens when companies try to manage it all without the right support. It’s stressful. It’s costly. And it’s totally avoidable.
I work with small to mid-sized businesses because they deserve better. They deserve IT that just works. Security that’s always on. Support that actually responds. I love bringing clarity and confidence to business leaders so they can focus on leading—not chasing down tech issues.
At the end of the day, I’m here to serve—to give companies the kind of trusted, proactive IT partnership that helps them grow, stay protected, and sleep better at night. And to set an example for my kids about what it looks like to do meaningful work with integrity. -
Unique Selling Proposition
“We provide enterprise-grade IT support and cybersecurity to small and mid-sized businesses—backed by our privately owned Tier 3 Data Center and a local, U.S.-based team that knows your business by name.”
What Makes CorKat Different:
Privately Owned Tier 3 Data Center:
Unlike most MSPs, CorKat owns and operates its own SOC 1 Type 2 Tier 3 Data Center—giving clients a secure, scalable foundation for cloud, backup, and hosting solutions without relying on third parties.
Proactive, Personalized Support:
CorKat combines the power of 24/7 monitoring with a deeply personal approach. Clients don’t get sent into a call center queue—they get local, responsive support from a team they know and trust.
Cybersecurity That’s Always On:
With Managed Detection and Response (MDR), advanced email protection, Microsoft 365 security, and real-time threat hunting, CorKat protects your systems like they’re our own.
Strategic Partnership, Not Just IT Help:
We meet our clients where they are—whether they have no internal IT or just need to augment their team—and we stick with them as a true partner, offering quarterly reviews, vendor management, and long-term planning. -
About me
I’m a husband to an amazing wife, a dad to three incredible kids—with one more on the way—and I’ve been blessed with a big poodle mix and a chill tabby cat to round out the crew.
Outside of work, you’ll usually find me spending time with family, helping out at River Church, strength training at the gym, playing a round of golf, or enjoying some good conversation over a delicious meal with steak (my favorite). I love people from all walks of life and I’m passionate about building meaningful relationships within my community.
More than anything, I love Jesus and His Church. I’m a Bible-believing follower of Christ, and my faith is the foundation of how I live, love, and lead—at home, in my community, and in my work.
I’ve been given the opportunity to work at CorKat Data Solutions, where I get to serve businesses by helping them feel confident, secure, and supported in their technology. It’s meaningful work that lets me combine my love for people with a passion for problem-solving—and I’m grateful for every step of the journey. -
