To one of our own…
Friends, colleagues, and loved ones, we gather to honor a true pillar of TechBldrs, a brilliant mind, and above all, a deeply cherished friend.
For two decades—from 2004 to 2024—he was a steady, guiding force within our team. To say he was an employee hardly captures what he meant to us. He was an anchor.
When complex technical challenges arose, he was the person everyone turned to. Possessing a steel-trap memory and an innate mastery of systems, he served as the living library and technical core for so many of our solutions. If there was a knot that couldn’t be untangled, he found the thread.
As brilliant as his mind was, his true gift lay in how deeply he cared. He was endlessly client-focused, earning the admiration of clients and teammates alike through his integrity, dedication, and warmth.
When he stepped away from TechBldrs in 2024, a rich and well-deserved new chapter opened for him—and we are so deeply grateful he got to live it to the fullest. He embraced the beauty of travel, taking in the history and wonder of Israel and standing before the ancient rock-cut beauty of Petra in Jordan. He spent priceless time crisscrossing the country to reconnect with friends and family throughout the United States.
A proud Navy man through and through, one of his absolute highlights was standing right here in Philadelphia to celebrate the Navy’s 250th anniversary—a fitting tribute to a man who served his country with the same quiet honor and dedication he brought to everything else in life.
To work alongside someone for 20 years is to share a lifetime of late-night fixes, quiet triumphs, and daily camaraderie. His mark on TechBldrs, on our clients, and on our hearts is permanent. We hold his memory close, thankful not only for the two decades he gave to us, but for the full, vibrant life he lived to the very end.
