I grew up in Mid-Missouri as a pastor's kid, and I've spent over ten years in IT making technology work for people, not the other way around.
I started Fosters Telecom because I saw small businesses being overcharged and underserved by big national carriers. I also wanted to build something that would give back to a cause that means a lot to me.
I grew up in Mid-Missouri, shaped by a community that believed in helping others, especially those in need. Foster care was never just a concept for me; it was personal. It meant neighbors, church families, and kids who needed someone to say, 'you matter here.'
That foundation has stayed with me. After attending Southwestern Assemblies of God University, I built a ten-year career in IT. I managed systems, solved problems, and helped people through technology. I spent almost eight years at Send IT Solutions, working my way up from Senior Support Engineer to Director of Support.
Along the way, I worked as IT Staff at Convoy of Hope in Springfield, Missouri. Being part of this faith-based humanitarian organization strengthened my belief that technology should support a mission, not just make money.
I saw firsthand what happens when small businesses deal with large carriers: dropped calls, confusing bills, and support that leaves you feeling you have to fix the problem yourself, only to be passed from one department to another.
So I set out to build something better. Fosters Telecom draws on more than a decade of hands-on IT experience, a lifelong passion for community, and the conviction that a business can do well by doing good.
When you call Fosters Telecom, you get a real person who knows your name and your setup. We don't close the ticket when the call ends. We take ownership of the issue until it's resolved. This isn't just a promise on a website. It's the reason this business exists.
These aren't just wall posters. They are the reason Fosters Telecom exists and the standard we uphold every single day.
Every role shaped the way Fosters Telecom is built with real IT experience, a service mindset, and a heart for community.
