About Kyle Thompson

I work to ensure that the world stays up to date with any technology needs they have. For years I have focused on Wired and Wireless solutions, but that has grown into cybersecurity, physical security (cameras, access control, alarms), interactive display management, power management, various softwares etc. Every year we add a new product and I just love it. I get to be the product expert in a new area and truly understand all the \"ins and outs\" of every client need. Every client is important; schools, local gov and businesses need to provide the best technological opportunities to support their staff, employees and even students. I work with my clients to understand their needs, their opportunities and how I can solve those needs via additional support, software or hardware. With the proliferation of client needs, I have seen our business grow exponentially! I\'ve had the unique opportunity to both sell to clients, and train new employees. It\'s been great getting into a coaching role and letting going of all these accounts I have had for years, giving me the opportunity to keep doing what I love doing, which is finding net new! I love Greenfield opps!I have thoroughly enjoyed training as well. Coaching is one of my passions. I love it and that growth path.I also started a new business in 2023. It\'s been great getting back into internet and phone systems! It is a great compliment to my 9-5. Grateful my employer was supported of growth in that area.
