I.T. Strategies Group Your trusted business IT provider for Managed Services, consulting, backup and disaster recovery. Serve with discipline. Deliver with excellence.

I’m the founder and president of IT Strategies Group, LLC, a relationship-driven IT consulting and managed services firm that helps organizations navigate complex technology challenges with clarity, confidence, and resilience. For over 12 years, I’ve led a team dedicated to delivering practical, high-impact solutions in disaster recovery, enterprise architecture, managed services implementation, and technology roadmap planning. My leadership philosophy is simple: build a great team, foster trust, and focus relentlessly on client value. At IT Strategies Group, we earn our place as trusted advisors—not just vendors—by aligning technology with business goals and building long-term relationships based on outcomes, not transactions. Before launching my firm, I spent more than two decades driving enterprise IT strategy at large organizations, including American Family Insurance and TDS Telecom, where I led architecture, infrastructure planning, and vendor negotiations for environments scaling into petabytes and thousands of endpoints. Outside the IT world, I bring the same level of intensity and discipline to my personal pursuits. I’m a 7th-degree black belt, member of the TaeKwon-Do Hall of Fame, and former martial arts school owner, with decades of experience developing leaders both on and off the mat. I’m also a pilot and competitive shooter, passions that demand precision, focus, and constant learning—values that I bring to my professional life every day. Whether it’s streamlining systems, building resilient IT architectures, mentoring technologists, or leading from the front in high-stakes environments, I’ve built a career—and a life—around staying sharp, moving fast, and never compromising on integrity.

🔹 Specialties: Technology strategy, disaster recovery, enterprise architecture, managed services, vendor negotiations, infrastructure transformation
🔹 Industries Served: Insurance, telecom, healthcare, SMBs, and public sector

The most dangerous phishing scams don’t look dangerous at all. They look like mail you were expecting.

AI is helping cybercriminals craft messages that sound like they came from someone you trust, whether that’s a vendor, colleague or senior leader. The usual red flags are getting harder to spot.

What should your team watch for?

• Emails impersonating trusted contacts or financial institutions
• Urgent payment or sensitive data requests
• Smishing attacks sent through text messages
• Voice cloning that mimics familiar people
• Spear phishing built around real business details

What’s the most convincing phishing attempt you’ve seen?

Cybersecurity isn’t limited to passwords, software and what happens on a screen.

Sometimes, it’s as simple as who you let through the door.

Tailgating happens when someone enters a restricted area by following an authorized employee inside. It may seem harmless to hold the door for someone, but that small decision could give the wrong person access to your workplace, devices or sensitive information.

That’s why employees are such an important part of your security. Knowing what to watch for, following access procedures and speaking up when something doesn’t seem right makes a real difference.

What’s one security habit every employee should know? Share yours below.

The weakest point in your cybersecurity isn’t always your software. It can be the person who hasn’t been trained to recognize a threat.

That’s why security can’t sit with IT alone. Leadership has to set the tone, employees need to understand their role, and everyone should know what to look for and what to do next.

Turn cybersecurity into a shared responsibility across your business.

Good cybersecurity is a long-term commitment to your business.

The time and resources you put into protecting it today can pay off for years by helping prevent costly disruptions, protect sensitive data and keep your business prepared as threats change.

But that investment needs attention. Technology changes, your business evolves and new risks emerge. Regular reviews, updates and employee education help make sure your protections keep pace.

Cybersecurity isn’t something you set up once and forget. Keep investing in it, and it will keep protecting everything you’ve worked to build.

Birds don’t fly solo for a reason. The formation helps them stay on course and go farther together.

Cybersecurity works in the same way. Internal IT employees know the business, but they shouldn’t have to cover every security challenge alone.

The right external expertise can bring added specialization, broader visibility and support when threats don’t keep business hours.

Myth: “We're too small to experience a cyberattack.”

The reality? Size is exactly what makes small businesses attractive to cybercriminals. Limited defenses and the assumption of safety create a vulnerability that's easy to exploit.

Small doesn't mean invisible. Make sure your security reflects that.

Cybercriminals don't need your password.

They just need you to click before you think.

The best defense against phishing isn't a tool. It's a pause.

Running a small business means wearing a lot of hats. Cybersecurity doesn’t have to be one of them.

Keeping up with threats and closing security gaps takes time and expertise. Important risks can be easy to miss when security gets pushed aside.

Your people are your first line of defense. But are they ready?

Here are 10 steps to build a cyber-smart team:

• Train your team with interactive, real-world scenarios
• Encourage open communication about threats and concerns
• Test readiness with phishing simulations
• Make it personal by showing employees how security protects them too
• Lead by example from the top down
• Establish clear, easy-to-follow security guidelines
• Tailor training to each employee’s role and responsibilities
• Help everyone understand how their actions affect the whole business
• Make it easy and safe to report suspicious activity
• Recognize and reward employees who take security seriously

If any of these aren't fully in place, it’s time to close the gaps.

We’ve created a free 10-step checklist to help you build a more cyber-aware team. Message us to get your free copy.

More traps don’t guarantee you’ll catch the threat.

Cybersecurity tool sprawl is one of the most common and costly mistakes businesses make.

Without the right strategy behind them, additional tools can create more problems than they solve:

• More complexity can create gaps between systems
• Alert fatigue can make real threats easier to miss
• Overlapping software can waste budget without adding protection
• Misconfigured tools can leave vulnerabilities hiding in plain sight

If you’re not confident your security environment is configured to work together effectively, we’re here to help.

Schedule a discovery call today and take a closer look at whether your tools are helping your security or getting in the way.
