Apogee Strategies is an Information Systems resource offering advanced technical and development solutions in information technology, systems and software for small to midsize businesses in a wide range of industry and service segments.

We started Apogee Strategies in 2000, because there were a number of small to midsized businesses that did not have access to the level of technology strategy and technology support to really drive their growth and productivity the way most of them wanted. Even in the earliest days, we found our way into the offices of entrepreneurs and presidents who really didn't want to know ‘how' it worked, they just wanted technology to work.

We've known one another since the 4th grade. Pretty amazing. We were friends before we were business partners, and we think that friendship has strengthened our ability to work together. Team-orientation is very important to all our staff – and that probably stems from our friendship.

Chris's background is in technology and science. He has been playing a role in supporting businesses and technology since high school – nearly 15 years of hands-on, entrepreneurial experience of helping executives define business objectives and goals that can be supported by technology.

Derek's background is in technology and application development. As one of the early developers of E-Trade when he was employed by Accenture, Derek's ability to make the complex technologically feasible is a great asset for the company.
