I love working and living in Detroit, Michigan. I belong here, and my business belongs here.

While I have aspirations to open offices around the country someday, I'm starting right here—in the city that shaped me. And while I want to stay humble, I'm also ecstatic and deeply grateful to have a client trusting me to build his network nearly from scratch—including the cybersecurity infrastructure required for CMMC compliance. Bringing my skill set, experience, and enterprise-grade expertise to the table, this project will be successful. More importantly, it's an amazing start to what Third Level IT is ultimately meant to be: a trust organization.

"You can accomplish pretty much anything with enough time and money."
— A wise CCIE

Everyone in this industry says they deliver. Most even believe it. But resources are always finite. The challenge is delivering when both time and money are constrained.

Third Level IT was built to deliver on its promises. That's a responsibility I don't take lightly. As we grow, I promise to build a team of dedicated professionals around me. There's already been real interest. The talent is out there, and technology is at a turning point unlike anything we've seen before.

We are ready.
