Hi, I’m Ron! I’m from Knoxville, Tennessee, and I am the founder of Innovative Technology Consulting, LLC. Growing up in Ohio, my family owned their own small business. When I was 9, I worked at my grandparents’ driving range. When I turned 11, my parents bought a golf course and I saw first hand the sacrifices they had to make, and the passion they had for their small business. I started ITC because I know first hand how hard it is to run a small business and I wanted to start a small business that worked FOR other small businesses.


Innovative Technology Consulting is not a mega corporation. The company is not a technology giant and I have no desire to grow the business to that level. I strive to provide affordable and efficient technology consulting to small businesses. It fuels my passion to be able to work with other small business owners and feel that I am helping their business succeed. 


Like all small businesses, my family is my support system. My wife Kristin is a Knoxville native and currently works at the University of Tennessee Medical Center as a CRNA. We have 3 wonderful children, Jackson, Riley Jo and James. They echo my support for small business and fully support my vision. We enjoy all that Knoxville has to offer and want to help ensure that the small business market thrives and succeeds.

From one small business to another, from my family to yours, I hope I earn your trust and get the opportunity to work with you to help streamline your small business and address any technology needs you may have; now or in the future. Thank you for your time and consideration!
