From Fashion Photography to IT Excellence
Before founding Tech-MW, I spent years as a professional photographer for brands like Guess, where I learned that the smallest details make the biggest impact. That same philosophy drives how I approach IT infrastructure—nothing is too small to overlook when it comes to your business security.
After 17 years working in IT—from enterprise environments to small businesses—I launched Tech-MW to bring a fresh approach to local consulting. I saw how Santa Barbara businesses were underserved by large, impersonal IT firms. Tech-MW was born from a simple idea: enterprise-level IT support with a personal touch.
Today, I work directly with each client—no call centers, no ticket queues. When you call Tech-MW, you get me. That's how I believe technology support should work.
Attention to Detail
My photography background taught me to see what others miss—crucial for network security.
Systems Thinking
I approach IT infrastructure holistically—every element must work in harmony.
Local Commitment
Santa Barbara isn't just where I work—it's home. Your success is our community's success.
