Our Story

Built on Trust, Rooted in the Community

I've been working in IT for 14 years, since 2012. I started on enterprise help desks at UnitedHealth Group, supporting about 100,000 users, and at HealthEast, both under strict HIPAA policies. From there I moved into systems work at Smarte Carte and Sharetec Systems (Windows Server, Exchange and Office 365, VMware, Hyper-V, Veeam backups), then spent six-plus years as the sole network administrator for a mid-size company, bringing their IT in-house from an outside provider.

Security is built into everything I do. I set up and monitor endpoint protection, handle patching and remote management, lock down firewalls and Wi-Fi with intrusion prevention and web filtering, and track newly exploited vulnerabilities so the fixes that matter get done first. I've supported SOC 2 work for banking clients, led a ransomware recovery for a 100-employee manufacturer, and performed NIST-based security assessments. That goes for families and small offices alike.

I also build software. I develop custom business web apps in Python (Flask and Django) with PostgreSQL: ticketing and help desk systems, approval workflows, inventory and reporting dashboards. That includes the ticketing system NexGen runs on. I automate the routine work too, with PowerShell, Python and AI-assisted tools, so nothing falls through the cracks and you get faster answers.

Today I run NexGen Tech Support for homes and small businesses in Venice, Englewood and Port Charlotte, plus Sarasota, Bradenton and Lakewood Ranch. I'm an ITT Tech graduate (3.54 GPA), I come to you, I explain things in plain English, and every job starts with a free quote. This is my community too, and I take that personally.

What We Stand For

The principles that guide every service call, every quote, and every customer relationship.

01 / PRINCIPLE

Integrity First

We quote before we work, explain what we're doing in plain language, and never recommend services you don't need. Your trust is the only thing we can't replace.

02 / PRINCIPLE

Reliability

When we schedule a visit, we show up. When we diagnose a problem, we fix it right. Same-day response is the standard, not the exception.

03 / PRINCIPLE

Expertise

Networks, computers, A/V systems, surveillance — we've built our skills to cover the full stack of home and small-business technology, with certifications to back it up.

04 / PRINCIPLE

Community

We live here. We shop here. Your referral doesn't just help our business — it builds the kind of local network Southwest Florida deserves.
