Chris has spent his career working in corporate IT environments where limited staffing, competing priorities, and unexpected projects routinely place heavy demands on small technical teams.
He founded Ten560 Technology to provide those teams with experienced additional capacity—without requiring another full-time employee or the scope and commitment of a traditional managed services contract.
Through Ten560, Chris supports fractional engagements, staff augmentation, environment documentation, project work, temporary technical coverage, emergency assistance, and Denver-area remote hands.
