Mission

Our mission is to provide consulting solutions in new, transparent, and consistently genuine ways by leveraging 20 years of expert-level experience in the IT and Cybersecurity industry. We treat your challenges with the same level of confidentiality and priority as the classified data we handled for decades. Our positively logical strategies allow us to be accountable in achieving goals without feeling like your goals are ubiquitously on fire. We believe in earning your trust, we do not believe in the blame game or pointing fingers. Our mission is to show the world that you can think differently, achieve measurable results positively, while minimizing undesirable results, allowing you to TAKE IT LIGHT! 

Vision

Being unique and different is one of our greatest values. We are committed to creating opportunities that previously did not exist. Our 20+ years of experience (at many different levels) open many doors that are typically not available. We provide solutions based on knowledge/experience of a billion-dollar business to companies of any size, non-profit organizations, or even for personal improvement. In doing so, we commit to always providing a selection of free services as our ongoing effort to provide knowledge and opportunity to our local/global community. We are all human and we all have feelings. Our world has the potential to change, one person at a time, one business at a time, if everyone exhibits genuine accountability and empathy, starting with our actions. Our intention is to prove this dream can be a reality, through actions and measurable results, more than words. 

TAKE IT LIGHT is powered by our e.H.A.C.K. framework; Empathy, Honesty, Accountability, Communication, & Knowledge
