Get Acquainted With Our Accomplished Leadership
“Our mission is to redefine the managed services industry by providing a customer-first approach that is mutually beneficial. We do this by prioritizing long-term relationships over short-term profit.
Before founding CAL IT Group, we developed our expertise working for one of the nation’s largest MSPs. We oversaw IT teams and projects for the military, government, Fortune 500, and startup business sectors. After an acquisition, we watched our employers sacrifice quality of service with plug-and-play solutions that don’t lead to long-term success.
We’ve developed a managed services strategy that puts customers first. We serve as an all-encompassing IT partner for businesses of all industries and sizes across the country. Every partnership begins with a comprehensive overview, complimentary system upgrade, and custom roadmap to IT success. We believe in open communication and full transparency, especially when it comes to billing. We personally meet with our customers’ executives on a regular basis to continually improve our process. We’re more than a service provider. We’re your long-term technology partner.”
Kevin Nichols
Co-founder & Managing Partner
“My career in IT started in the Navy, where I worked alongside a team of civilian contractors to deploy, and then manage, the first non-tactical computer network ever installed on a U.S. aircraft carrier.
From there I spent six years at the Department of Justice, then went out on my own as a consultant, and eventually led Southern California operations for one of the largest MSPs in the US. Along the way I learned that technology is only half the job.
What matters most is people: our clients, the customers they serve, and the IT pros who show up for them every day. That’s why I co-founded CAL IT Group. We build long-term partnerships with our clients, and the fact that they stay with us year after year means
more to us than any sales pitch.”
Joe Kemp, MSIT, CISSP
Co-founder & Director of Technical Services
“Tech is my passion. I have a knack for spotting an organization’s IT needs and picking the most long-term viable solution. As a kid, I took apart gadgets to understand how they worked. That led me to pursue a degree in Business Administration, Information Systems & Decision Science, and, later on, my Master’s in Information Technology.
From being a Network Operations Center (NOC) Technician to Director of IT, I moved on to Senior Systems Engineering, Consulting Engineering, and Microsoft Field Solution Architecture while helping major firms & brands expand. CAL IT Group makes tech simple. We cut through the complexity of the industry.”
