Inside the shop
How it all started
After a break from the IT industry, and closing his brick-and-mortar shop about five years ago, Bill stepped into the security business, managing a couple of popular beach bars. In the end he was ready to return to his roots. Meanwhile, Chris was wrapping up his time running the IT department for a Fortune 100 company, where he handled over 700 managed service clients. Done with the corporate world, he was looking for a new challenge.
Bill and Chris had been toying with the idea of starting a business together for the last ten years. When the timing finally lined up, they opened Geeks By Your Side.
