About Chris Burns

I have over 20 years of experience in the information technology industry with consulting small and medium businesses, Fortune 100 enterprises, and government agencies, including the Office of Naval Intelligence. My thirst for knowledge and personal development has led to over 55 IT industry certifications from companies like CompTIA, Microsoft, Citrix, and others. I have been a featured speaker, graced the cover of MSP Magazine, featured in the Grow My Accounting Practice podcast, and quoted in numerous online articles and publications. I started Techie Gurus in 2008 to address a gap I saw in the IT industry between enterprises and small and medium businesses. I noticed that too many small and medium businesses struggling with subpar IT and cybersecurity. Thirteen years later Techie Gurus has transformed into a premier cybersecurity focused IT provider for small and medium businesses in Metro Detroit and throughout the United States.
