About

Since falling in love with computers in my Senior year of college at Centre, I have successfully followed my passion with helping others use and troubleshoot them. After working many years at various Computer Resellers, I decided to form my own professional services business, CisCom Solutions in 1996, to help Small and Medium businesses\organizations get their networks connected safely to the Internet and assist with other needs. Fast forward to today, CIsCom has grown to over 20 employees, supporting a wide range of technologies to become one of the premier, locally owned, IT companies. I plan to work at CisCom Solutions until I retire then possibly follow another passion of mine: traveling the far corners of the earth! Our Business Philosophy: We will provide excellent service at a competitive price, while treating people with respect.
