20+ years of enterprise IT. Now working for you.
Before founding BITNETICA, I spent 20 years at a high-tech $60M print manufacturing and fulfillment company, including 16 years as their Director of IT. In that role, I owned the full technology lifecycle and managed hundreds of endpoints, virtual servers, cybersecurity, compliance, cloud migrations, disaster recovery, acquisitions, and backend infrastructure supporting 120+ websites. I built enterprise-level infrastructure most small businesses never have access to.
From the pressroom to the server room
My path into technology wasn’t typical. Earlier in my career, I worked in newspaper production, serving as both Design Manager and Systems Manager, bridging creative and technical operations daily. Later on while serving as Director of IT, I also trained as a web developer. That unusual combination (production, design, systems, and development) shapes everything BitNetica does today.
What that experience means for your business
As Director of IT, I modernized the company’s technology end to end multiple times over: enterprise-wide upgrades across hundreds of desktops, servers, and storage systems; virtualization; disaster-recovery systems with cloud and off-site replication; hardened security that satisfied pharma, banking, and accounting clients through audits and SOC2 compliance efforts; and the backend infrastructure behind 120+ client websites. I kept the business running through the 2008 recession, a corporate acquisition, and the overnight shift to remote work in 2020, secured with multi-factor authentication and built to scale.
You don’t have to be a $60M company to get that level of care. BitNetica brings the same discipline, honesty, and enterprise-grade thinking to small and medium businesses across McHenry, Lake, Walworth counties, northwest Chicagoland, and Southern Wisconsin, and at prices that make sense, with no contracts to start, and no upselling. When you call, you get me (the person who has actually built and run this infrastructure), not a sales rep or a ticket queue.
These experiences shape how we work
They continue to shape how we approach branding and technology today, helping businesses manage IT, web presence, and marketing efficiently, as one coherent whole instead of a pile of disconnected vendors.
