What do we love about West Virginia? 🌄💛

It’s the rolling hills that rise into breathtaking mountains, the generosity of spirit you feel everywhere you go, the unique local businesses, the unshakable pride West Virginians have for our state… and yes, a Saturday tailgate in Motown that reminds us what community feels like.

At WV-Tech Guy, we’re here to highlight advancements in technology and share how they’re changing the Mountain State.

But we’re also here to celebrate what makes WV special because true innovation thrives when it’s built for the people and places we love.

Not all tech needs Wi-Fi or an app. Sometimes all you need is a tiny drive that actually works everywhere. 💾

Wanted to share a quick tech favorite over here at WVTG - the Lexar thumb drive. It’s simple, reliable, and versatile - perfect for moving files between work, school, or home.

Some of the best features: the amount of storage, the 2-1 capabilities, and the swivel design (it’s just really cool).

No, we’re not getting paid to say this…we just really like it. 😎

“Effective IT is about forging a strong alignment between your organization and a reliable technology partner. And like any good tango, it takes two committed dancers to pull it off.”

Our latest blog, It Takes Two, dives into why real IT success depends on a true partnership with an MSP, not just a ‘break-fix’ relationship.

Because more often than not, businesses don’t just want tech support. They want growth. They want security. They want a partner invested in their future.

But what happens when that partnership isn’t equal? 🧐

"In every thriving organization, there is a delicate dance between talent and terror. One of these can fuel growth, spark innovation, and transform businesses. The other is subtle and is often cloaked in confidence, charisma, or unchecked ambition; it can unravel even the most promising stories. This is the love story of two forces that, when mismanaged, end not in triumph, but in tragedy."
