Founder & Owner, Southern Connected Technologies
20+ years of professional expertise. Born and raised in Middle Tennessee. Committed to honest work and reliable service.
Why I Started Southern Connected Technologies
I saw a gap between large national companies and the local customer. Many homeowners and small businesses struggle to find someone who can help with networking, Wi-Fi, smart home technology, and low-voltage cabling without being pushed into expensive packages or long wait times.
Too many installers focus on selling products instead of solving problems. Customers are often left confused, overcharged, or without support after installation. I wanted to build something different.
Southern Connected Technologies provides professional installations, honest recommendations, and reliable service while treating every project like it matters.

My Philosophy
Focus on Solutions, Not Sales
I focus on long-term solutions instead of quick fixes. I take time to understand what you're trying to accomplish, explain options clearly, and install systems as if I were doing the work in my own home. Details matter.
Respect & Reliability
Treat every home with respect. Show up on time, communicate clearly, protect the property, clean up after work, and leave you with a system you understand. I do what I say I'm going to do.
Honest Communication
Problems happen in any industry. When they do, I believe in being honest, communicating quickly, and working toward a solution. Taking responsibility is more important than making excuses.
Growth Without Compromise
I want to build a company that can grow while maintaining quality and customer service. Growth is important, but not at the expense of workmanship or customer experience.
