About Us

Matt comes from an extensive history of Network Administration in the Not for Profit industry, working for a tri-fold company supporting thousands of users and multiple sites.  He started his career as a Firefighter/Paramedic where he was stationed in NYC during the 9/11 attacks. In 2003 he returned to his first love of technology and has been working in the field ever since.  Discovering and working with new technology, administering networks and developing great relationships with people are the things that keep him excited day to day.

He lives in Lockport NY with my beautiful wife, 3 sons, 2 dogs, 2 cats and 1 rabbit.

He has been coaching little league baseball for the last 7 years and last year coached little loop football.

He loves Fantasy novels, getting beat by my boys in Fortnite and have been a Bills fanatic since he was born. (His Father and Uncle introduced him to the world of our beloved Bills in the early 70s)

Chrissy has worked in both small companies and large corporations to gain my experience.

Her family has 3 cats that own the household and keep them all in check. Chrissy enjoys finding new places with her family, and they all enjoy helping any family and friends with any work that needs to be done.
