Welcome to my profile 🥳 My name is Blake and I’m currently an organization change machine.I started in government IT way back in 2001 when I was 20. The early part of my career was participating and then designing/leading companies through moving from physical servers to full virtualization. After joining Lexcom I continued that along with virtualizing desktop environments, phone systems and anything else that was old that could be made new. Running project teams and mentoring my junior engineers. Along the way I developed a reputation for being able to fix the weird or reoccurring problems other IT companies couldn't. I made a big move from Saskatoon, Canada to Tyler, Texas in September. I've been loving the East Texas culture, weather and people. I want to bring the same high quality, responsive, value add IT to the East Texas market that I built in Canada. Current passion is moving organizations to a new, agile cloud model. Saving spend and giving all kinds of cool new features. I bring enterprise IT thinking to the small business realm and treat your organization like it's my own. I want to be your CIO.
