John started an IT consulting business (now managed service provider, MSP) while a junior at the University of Florida in 2007. He sold that company to CRS in 2015. The Cape Coral-based company works with a host of companies in Southwest Florida on technology and related issues.
Business Observer Managing Editor Mark Gordon and John talked about CRS’ core values — passion, respect, collaboration and innovation — and the role they play in the company’s culture, and its success. They also talked about how and why CRS downsized its client roster, and became a more efficient and profitable business. And listen for the rapid-fire questions, where John, an admitted tech-geek, readily names what he says is the best Star Wars movie.
