From a 1995 Computer Shop to 208 Pro Tech: Aiming High and Having Fun

October 23, 2024 · General Computing · 1 min read

My dad always taught me to aim high. He forgot to mention that you should have fun too. Fortunately, I get to do both.

I recently came across two old business cards, from 1995 and 1998. They belong to the first two small business computer shops I managed and owned. The earlier one even predates email.

Why It Still Matters

Those early shops taught me the fundamentals: listen to the customer, fix the real problem, and be honest about what it takes. Years later, after a degree in e-Business and 17 years managing people and technology inside Fortune 100 IT departments, those same lessons are the foundation of 208 Pro Tech.

Key takeawayAim high, keep the customer first, and enjoy the work. Thirty years in, that is still the plan.
