Customers rely on Ron for every aspect of IT. He installs systems, troubleshoots, deals with security issues, and makes system recommendations to help his customers’ businesses run more smoothly.
Ron enjoys the day to day interaction with his clients, some of whom he has known for over a decade. He is a very hands-on leader and continues to enjoy the troubleshooting aspect of IT.
“I take on customer technology issues as a personal challenge to resolve. When the customer has been told in the past it can’t be done, I like to make it happen.”
Ron is a graduate of Frazier High School and is a graduate Westmoreland County Community College with a degree in Computer Information Systems, and Digital Forensics. Ron’s certifications include Microsoft MCP, Windows Sever and Windows Exchange Server.
Ron has been married to his wife Kathy for 17 years. They have 1 son, Justin who is now 15.
“I love to spend time outdoors. Both Kathy and I are very active in the Boy Scouts as Justin strives for his Eagle Scout ranking. I truly enjoy camping, hunting, and fishing.”
Kathy started out working in retail with 15 + years management experience.
Before dedicating her effort full-time to Bridgeport Technology, Kathy worked as an Instructional Technology Analyst training teachers and administration on the incorporation of technology into school curriculum. Previous to that, she worked as a Technical Writer/Document Control Specialist and earned her Greenbelt in Six Sigma by attending classes, testing, and implementing a process improvement that saved time and money.
She has always enjoyed helping people and realizes that there is no “one size fits all” model for learning. This joint venture has allowed her to step outside her comfort zone as a business owner as well as continuing to help people find success using technology.
Her educational background includes a B.S. in Education from California University of Pennsylvania, a M. Ed. in Technologies Enhanced Learning and Instructional Design from Seton Hill University, and several credits from the Westmoreland County Community College Computer Technology Program.
In her spare time, she enjoys spending time with her family, staying active in wrestling boosters, watching her son wrestle, and also perform in the high school marching band. She also likes camping, hunting, fishing, exercising, reading, and listening to music.
