CISSP certified (#406817). Started in tech in 2003, spent a decade in corporate IT, then left with $50K in savings to launch Data Professionals in 2013.
Runs the business side of Data Professionals day to day: HR, accounting, and making sure the whole team is taken care of. Equal parts CEO and office mom, and everyone here would tell you that's not a joke.
Keeps client systems running day to day, and spends the rest of his time obsessing over the latest tech and building something new. His cubicle is proof, cluttered with gadgets and half-finished projects, the mark of a true mad scientist.
Runs the help desk like it's a science: every call and email handled meticulously, nothing falls through the cracks. Clients trust him because he's earned it, one perfectly handled ticket at a time.
Bryan's 18-year-old son, learning the business from the ground up. Meticulous about cabling and installations, sharp with project management, and already great with clients.
Handles our video and social media, and has a real gift for capturing what we actually do day to day. If you've seen us on LinkedIn or any of our social channels, that's Paxton showing the world who we really are.
Don’t let the fluff fool you—Carley Joe (aka CJ) runs a tight ship. As our Chief Barketing Officer, she brings relentless energy, fierce loyalty, and just the right amount of drool to the office. A proud Portuguese Water Dog with a PhD in Desk Napping and Treat Negotiation, CJ specializes in keyboard warming, Zoom bombing, and unsolicited emotional support.
When she’s not "replying to emails" with her paws or aggressively advocating for lunchtime walk breaks, you can find her offering side-eye from the conference room or protecting the office from suspicious delivery drivers. She's cute and she's the real boss around here.
“I started in tech in 2003, spending a decade in corporate IT with larger companies before I decided I wanted to do it on my own terms. So I saved $50K, quit my job, and started DPI.
I had no idea how to run a business. I had a wife, two young kids, and no fallback plan. The first few years were brutal, long hours, less money than my old job, and more than a few moments where I almost walked away. I didn't, because I believed the industry needed someone willing to do this right.
Slowly it clicked. The right clients, the right team, the right process. We stopped just fixing problems and started preventing them.
Over a decade in, we've built something I'm genuinely proud of, a company that treats small businesses with the same rigor and honesty that enterprise clients pay hundreds of thousands of dollars for. That's still the mission.”
