Building Better Business Tech, One Partnership at a Time
We keep your tech running so you can run your business
Joe didn’t just fall into IT—he built it from the ground up with his father in Chicago, where they ran a proactive IT support company that focused on stability over quick fixes. After years of building that structure and trust, Joe brought the model to Charleston, SC. He purchased an existing company—previously focused on ad-hoc tech work and computer repair—and restructured it from the inside out.
Now, it’s all business IT. All proactive. All forward-moving.
At The Computer Guyz IT Services, LLC, we help small to mid-sized businesses stop reacting to problems and start planning ahead. Whether it’s managed IT support, full-service managed IT services (MSP), cybersecurity, or IT consulting services for growth and strategy, we bring structure to your systems and clarity to your operations.
Joe personally manages every client relationship. Behind the scenes, he’s supported by a small, dedicated crew—two full-time team members, his wife, his dad, and close colleagues who pitch in when needed. Even though the business is lean, it runs like a well-oiled machine. That’s because we don’t pretend to be bigger than we are—we just do solid work and build lasting partnerships.
While we’re focused on Charleston today, our eyes are on growth. Joe’s long-term plan is to expand into other cities and eventually scale the brand nationally. The model is proven. The process is tight. And the goal stays the same—bring sustainable IT support to businesses who are ready to stop patching problems and start building real infrastructure.
