Michael, Director of Operations

Michael joined the team in September 2011, bringing with him new qualities and skills. After spending his first few years at OunceIT excelling in customer service and technical support, Michael was given the opportunity to transition into an operational role. This move would allow him to, in his own words, “give OunceIT the same kind of attention we give to our clients.” Michael continues to work towards that goal, helping OunceIT navigate accelerating growth and an ever-changing technology landscape with grace, intention, and decisiveness. Outside of work, Michael spends time with his beautiful family and also nurtures a healthy side hustle as an actor in the Boston professional theatre scene.

Rob, Director of Technical Solutions

Rob joined OunceIT in January of 2013 and immediately became an integral part of the team. His primary role often has him as a tech support “first responder,” but he is so much more. Rob’s been known to stay calm and collected in the most stressful situations, and both our clients and the rest of the OunceIT team appreciate him for that! His background in engineering has helped diversify our team even more, and while he spends most of his time behind the “help desk,” he has taught some incredible classes including a computer-aided design and 3D printing class, and Rob is proving to be a great mentor to other OunceIT team members. Maybe not so surprisingly, Rob's background in technical theater often shines through — even in IT support.

Aaron, Assistant Director of Technical Solutions

Aaron began working with OunceIT — our first intern — as an undergraduate student at Wentworth Institute of Technology. We found Aaron via WIT’s co-op program, but he stayed on after his co-op ended. As an Intern, Aaron set the bar high, and as a full time employee, he continues to live up to the expectations he set so long ago. Aaron enjoys incorporating technology into everyday life; looking to better day-to-day tasks in the workplace and the classroom. This is why he fits in with OunceIT so well: He is both a people person and a gadget person; always fascinated with new electronics, and driven by a desire to learn how it all works.

Adam, Support Technician

Adam joined OunceIT in the fall of 2013 and brought with him some "genius" skills (a former Apple Genius), an incredible spirit, and a welcoming smile. This combination allowed him to dive in head first and become an invaluable member of the team immediately. When Adam and Jeremy met, they found common ground in the air — Adam is also a pilot. On the job, Adam's IT abilities are undeniable, but the thing OunceIT clients comment on most often is his seemingly unending pool of patience, positivity, and warmth. 

Scott, Team Lead

Scott joined OunceIT in May of 2015 after 10 years working as an independent IT consultant.  He graduated from New England Institute Of Technology with a network engineering degree and from the University of Massachusetts Amherst with a degree in sociology.

In addition to regularly being on the road in New England, he participated in many Boston area premiers as a performer, music director, projection designer, and sound designer. Music is as much a curiosity and passion for him as technology. Much to his wife's dismay, he always wants to explore the new and shiny things that pop up in tech. If he's not creating, tinkering with something, or gaming, you'll find him spending time with his wife, daughter, and son.
