The story
An IT Company Built Like a Fort, Run Like a Neighbor
TechFort exists because small businesses kept getting two bad options: the solo guy who vanishes, or the giant provider where you're a ticket number. We're the third option.
Owner-operated, on purpose
Hi, I'm Christian.
I run TechFort from Spokane Valley, and if you become a client, I'm the person responsible for your network - not a sales rep who hands you off after the contract signs. I've spent my career in the Microsoft stack: networks, servers, 365, security. The technical part matters, but it's table stakes. What clients actually stay for, year after year, is simpler: we answer, we're straight with you, and the bill is what we said it would be.
"Most of my clients came to me after a bad experience somewhere else. That shaped how TechFort works more than anything: be reachable, be honest, write everything down, and never let a client feel held hostage by their own IT."
Outside of work you'll find me and my wife Lori in the mountains of the Inland Northwest - which is to say: we live here, we're invested here, and your referral matters to us in a way no national MSP can replicate.
What we won't compromise on
The TechFort Standard
Honesty over upsells
If you don't need it, we'll say so - even when saying so costs us revenue. Especially then.
Transparency by default
Flat pricing on the website. Plain-English reports. You always know what you're paying for and why.
People first
Technology serves your team, not the other way around. We explain, we train, we never make anyone feel dumb for asking.
Security as a baseline
Not a premium tier. Every client gets MFA, modern endpoint protection, and tested backups, because that's the floor now.
The fort part
Personal Doesn't Mean Small-Time
Behind the friendly phone manner is the same tooling the big MSPs run: 24/7 monitoring, enterprise endpoint security, automated patching, and documented, tested backups. You get enterprise-grade walls - with a human gate.
