About Twin Pines<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Built in Akron.<\/span> Built to stick around.<\/h1>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Twin Pines is an owner-run IT company with a seven-person team serving 150 businesses across Northeast Ohio.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n\n<\/section>\n

Our story<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t

We started Twin Pines to fill a gap.<\/h2>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n
\n \t\t\t

Small and mid-sized businesses in Northeast Ohio kept telling us the same story. The local \"IT guy\" was friendly but stretched thin. The national managed service provider had a ticket system, but nobody who knew their name. Neither one made the problems go away.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t

In 2021, Brian Kosarko and Brian Shanower started Twin Pines Technology to be the in-between: a local team big enough to have real tools and real depth, and small enough that you know who you're talking to.<\/p>\n\t\t

[Origin story from Adam\/Brian: how the two Brians met, the moment they decided to start, and where the name came from.]<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<\/section>\n

Why \"Twin Pines\"<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Evergreen, on purpose.<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Pines don't drop their needles when the weather turns. They stay green through Ohio winters and stand up to the wind without making a fuss. That's how we think technology should work for a business: steady all year, rooted, and quietly dependable.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<\/section>\n

How we work<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Stewards, not vendors.<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t

We treat your technology the way a good steward treats anything in their care. We keep it reliable, keep the cost sensible, and keep it out of your way. When clients stop thinking about IT, we know we're doing our job.<\/p>\n\t\t

\n
\n \t\t\t

Plain English.<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t

We explain what we're doing and why.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n

\n \t\t\t

Written down.<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Your systems are documented, and the documentation belongs to you.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n

\n \t\t\t

Honest advice.<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t

If something isn't worth the money, we'll say so.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n

\n \t\t\t

Month-to-month.<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t

You stay because the work is good, not because of a contract.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<\/section>\n
