I didn’t start off as a computer guy, in fact, I was working in accounting and financial services. Today I share the story of how I fell into I.T. management. Or rather how I was invited into the position because, well, I was young and knew how to re-boot a computer when my co-workers were having issues. And later I was let go from my full-time I.T. position by my longtime friend and client who now says he started Herrod Technology, because I had no choice but to dive into the business and make it work. Before long, I was busier than I had ever imagined and the rest is history.
Listen in to the story of how Herrod Technology was born almost 20 years ago. We’ve come a long way and helped a lot of great businesses. Let us know if yours is next!
