This NSITSP Member Spotlight dives into Cameron’s journey through higher education IT, a Fortune 500 manufacturing role, church AV/IT, and ultimately going all-in on his MSP in 2020. The conversation explores building recurring revenue from legacy software automation, setting financial and personal boundaries for leaving corporate, and elevating MSP professionalism so clients see you as a trusted strategic partner—not just the person who fixes printers. Why listen: Learn how Cameron turned a nights-and-weekends web gig into a full MSP practice. Hear how early automation and SQL scripting work led directly to full IT management contracts. Get practical advice on when to leave corporate and what financial guardrails to have in place. Discover why “not all business is good business” and how to define a good-fit client. Understand Cameron’s view on democratizing technology instead of just blocking users. See how The Tech Tribe and peer groups shaped his growth and decision-making. Learn what NSITSP is doing to raise professionalism and give IT providers a voice with regulators.
