Mission statement

TechGents was founded in 2017, an endeavor stemming from the extensive professional background of our founder, Justin White. With almost two decades of experience in the technology sector, Justin quickly established a reputation as the trusted subject matter expert and go-to "I.T. professional" among his peers and colleagues.

He might have gone to school for political science and legal studies, but the consistent success of his innovative and efficient solutions led to continuous encouragement from family, friends, co-workers, and local businesses, all of whom urged him to formalize his services. This demand for dedicated expert support culminated in the establishment of TechGents.

At TechGents, we are dedicated to providing both individual clients and businesses with personalized services and custom-tailored technology solutions. Every proposed solution undergoes a rigorous process of in-depth research, collaborative discussion, and strategic implementation, ensuring your operations remain positioned at the forefront of modern technology.

    Justin White, Founder

    I’ve been speaking "tech" since I was a toddler. While most kids were playing with just toys, I was figuring out how gadgets worked. That early spark turned into a career that has taken me through various roles in the industry, including time spent working for Apple and Apple Authorized Resellers.

    This business was born out of necessity—and trust. Long before I opened my doors, I was already the person local business owners and friends called when things went wrong. They knew I wouldn't just guess at the problem; I would solve it.

    I founded this company to bring that level of service to everyone. I take all the skills I’ve gathered over a lifetime of loving technology and put them to work for you, ensuring we find the perfect solution for your needs.
