In 1995, I began serving the Memphis area with high-quality, high-availability, customer-centric IT consulting services.
I serve warehousing and distribution customers, as well as small business and church office needs.
About John
I came to Memphis by way of Louisiana and Oklahoma. I got my bachelors degree from Louisiana State University (Geaux Tigers!). I came to Memphis to further my education at Mid-America Baptist Theological Seminary. A consulting “side job” during that time became a consulting business.
As a child, someone put a TRS-80 Model III in front of me. Coding became a passion! My first “job” (don’t tell the IRS) was writing a BASIC checkbook app on a VIC-20. I would write games, but for my senior year term paper I wrote a word processor to help. As a college intern, someone put an IBM PC-XT in front of me. Now getting Lotus 1-2-3 and dBase to do something useful was a passion! A part-time job at Campus Federal Credit Union was my introduction to business-level PC support. A full-time stint for Memphis Area Teachers Credit Union as a mainframe operator introduced me to PC networking, Novell Netware, and Windows. My years at Terex introduced me to warehousing, wiring, and wide-area networking.
After almost 25 years, I find IT Consulting is multi-disciplinary and customer-centric. I hope you will consider me for your company’s IT needs.
