What We Do

Managed services, one-time fixes, or ground-up deployments — if it plugs in (or should), we can help. Break/fix welcome; we just don't call it that.

🖥️

Compute

Servers, virtualization, and workstations — on-prem or cloud. Designed right, deployed clean, kept running.

🌐

Networking

Cabling, routing, switching, Wi-Fi, and SD-WAN. Fast and reliable infrastructure built to actually last.

📞

VoIP

Modern business phone systems that don't require a degree to use. Hosted or on-premise — your call. (Literally.)

📷

Physical Security

IP cameras, access control, and door systems. Know what's happening at your place — even when you're not there.

☁️

Managed Web Hosting

We handle the server so you can handle your business. Reliable hosting with a human on the other end when something goes sideways.

🔒

Cybersecurity

Firewalls, endpoint protection, backups, and staff training. The bad guys don't take weekends off — your defenses shouldn't either.

💻

Web Development

Clean, functional sites that represent your business well — built by someone who also understands the full stack behind them.

The Head Behind the Hat

PropellerHeads is me - JR. No call centers. No ticket queues that disappear into the void. No "have you tried turning it off and on again" from someone who's never touched a server.

I've been doing this long enough to remember when IT meant a beige box, a green screen, and a lot of optimism. The tools have evolved — the fundamentals haven't: understand the problem, solve it right, explain it in plain English.

I occasionally recruit my sons for the heavy lifting (they're cheaper than a moving crew and marginally more reliable), but the work is mine and the accountability is mine.

Need managed services? A one-time fix? A ground-up deployment? Tell me what you've got going on and I'll tell you straight whether I can help — and how.

Non-Profits

Non-profit work is a specialty. I've spent years digitally transforming mission-driven organizations — getting them off spreadsheets, into the cloud, and running infrastructure that actually scales with their impact and their budget. If you're doing good work in the world, let's talk.
