About Brian Murphy
Hello, I am Brian Murphy, President of PopQuiz Computers and Managed Services.Being self-employed since 18 has been a struggle at times and really drives home the pains of owning a business and being pulled in multiple directions.In my journey, I’ve worn many hats. I’ve also tried, failed, and succeeded in a bunch of verticals; for example- DJ’ing block parties at 10 years old- Selling newspapers door to door with a team of 20 employees- Buying and flipping 3 houses- Kitchen Server at a hospitalThe highs and lows of all these experiences made me realize that my passion is solving the problems and frustrations that stop people from just focusing on what they’re good at.That’s why I started PopQuiz Computers and Managed Services.Part of my journey was working under bigger providers. I enjoy the challenge of going into a business and finding ways to help them do what they do best, which is to run the business.During that time, I saw first-hand the types of shortcomings most IT companies have and the headache that it can cause for people who just want to do their job. That’s the real reason my partner and I started PopQuiz. Our mission is to build a system around doing the opposite of what everyone else is doing.Though we are tech geeks and love the technology side of our business, people come first. After all, technology is just a tool to help you get your job done - not make it harder.A big point of pride for me is that I’ve never lost a client or met with a business that I couldn’t help in some way, shape, or form.If you’re a business owner or executive with a need for IT management, let’s connect. I love talking to new people and seeing how I can help them and in return, bettering myself.My Ideal client:I’m looking for small to medium sized businesses with users with owners or executives who are either sick of their current provider or just want to pull their heads out of the network closet and actually want to run the business.I love working with different manufacturing businesses while helping them bridge the gap between blue collar and tech. I also have lots of experience in working with insurance and logistics companies, but I am excited to learn about businesses in all verticals.If this sounds like you, I want to meet you. Add me and let\'s get this relationship started!Have an IT related question? Join our group and ask away!
