Honest IT help for small businesses.

Why I started CDT

For 14 years I ran IT for a multi-division business where every dollar had to earn its keep. I learned that the right answer is usually smaller, cheaper and less disruptive than the first quote, and that most problems can be fixed one affordable step at a time. Small businesses don’t need the biggest solution. They need someone who’ll tell them the truth about what they actually need.

That's what CDT does. I help small businesses that can't justify a full-time IT person or a big IT firm, and I size every recommendation to the business in front of me.

My background

For 14 years I was Director of Information Technology for a multi-division retail and wholesale company, running all of its IT with a lean team. That meant being the manager, system administrator, network administrator, database administrator, developer and help desk, often on the same day.

• Networks, servers, remote access and internet providers across multiple locations
• Phone systems, mobile phones, cameras and door access
• Backups, disaster recovery and data integrity
• SQL Server administration and development
• Custom business software in VB.NET and C#, and ERP integration
• Vendor management for every piece of technology the business ran on

I hold a BS in Management Information Systems from the University of Arkansas at Little Rock.

How I work

• Plain English. You'll always understand what I'm recommending and why.
• Right-sized. The smallest fix that solves the problem.
• Upfront pricing. Published plans and written quotes before any project.
• Local. I can be on-site when it matters.
