My first tech job was back at 8 years old 👶🏻, helping to promote a local children’s software store. The 3+ decades since then have included running my online Bulletin Board in the early 90’s, selling books and records online in the early aughts, 5 years running tech for radio stations, building computer labs in rural Guatemalan towns and 20 years performing as a DJ and producing music events.

This varied experience led me to launch LA Creative Technologies in 2009 – leveraging my nerdy 🤓 skills to help people get things done. My love of technology and fixing things has evolved over the years into a passion for delivering IT solutions that empower artists, creators and startup entrepreneurs to overcome obstacles that accompany business growth.

The best part of my job is studying clients’ businesses, discovering their unique needs and then developing tailored solutions that enable them to grow. I create tools and services to increase productivity, increase revenues, and improve efficiency.

Preferring to eschew buzzy, jargony consultant speak, I provide technology and project management expertise through a human-centered approach that includes meaningful, productive conversations and collaboration.

As a Director / Principal at PartnerReady, I help technology companies grow their revenue and reach through effective channel strategies and programs. I have over 20 years of experience in building and managing partner ecosystems for SaaS providers, and I am a recognized thought leader and speaker in the industry.

I also facilitate PartnerReady’s Ecosystem Academy, a training and coaching program that guides technology founders and leaders in creating and scaling their own partner networks. Additionally, I serve as a subject matter expert and faculty member for CompTIA, the world’s leading IT trade association, and contribute to their professional development courses and certifications. My core mission is to empower technology innovators and entrepreneurs with the knowledge, skills, and connections they need to succeed in the global market.

With over two decades of experience in the IT industry, I am the President and Owner of Zepol Productions Inc., a company that delivers custom sales and distribution services to emerging manufacturers and service providers of IT equipment and accessories. My core competencies include new business development, direct sales, and sales processes, as well as creating automated quoting and contracting tools to reduce time and cost for my clients.

My mission is to provide a turnkey solution that not only delivers high margins and quality products, but also offers superior alternative OEM maintenance (AOM) support at a significantly lower cost than traditional OEM contracts. I work with partners like ALTNET, ATS, Climb Lifecycle Solutions, and ATO Data, to offer flexible and customized service options for IT equipment at every stage of the support lifecycle. I am passionate about disrupting the market and empowering resellers and distributors with AOM, the next-generation of third-party maintenance.

I enjoy learning and problem solving. I work hard to understand new technology, figuring out which new offerings will best help my clients succeed.

I joined Aveir Technology, a leading provider of technology consulting, IT project management and Managed Services in Northern Nevada because I saw the traditional role of “computer stores” changing from break fix and product sales to becoming professional technology advisors; providing valuable direction and education. Visualizing NOC’s to remotely provide cloud and on prem services largely replacing rolling trucks and on-site technicians.

My previous experience as CEO of a multimillion-dollar MicroAge franchise with clients ranging from SOHO to Fortune 500, has given me a detailed understanding of the business issues facing the hundreds of organizations I’ve had face to face meetings with. This knowledge allows me to tailor technology solutions to maximize opportunities for growth and profitability often in ways the client hasn’t thought of.

Technology will continue to evolve and for now companies are expand the number of applications they use. Many of these applications are being chosen and implemented outside of the IT department, which is still tasked with securing, tracking and providing resources for SaaS applications. IT consultants like me whether independent or vendor provided will continue to be the go between helping the departments find well-crafted solutions and working with IT and senior management to ensure the proper communications and security are in place.
