The Columbia River IT Approach To IT Services

We started Columbia River IT Solutions to bring honesty, reliability, and a genuinely people-first approach back to managed IT services.

We Built This Company to Do IT the Right Way

Technology That Serves You, Not Us

After years in the industry, our founders watched providers shift from helping clients to selling stacks designed for their own revenue. We started Columbia River IT Solutions because small businesses in the Pacific Northwest deserve an IT partner that recommends the right technology, not the most profitable one. Our job is to make your technology work for your business.

About Columbia River IT Solutions

Columbia River IT Solutions was founded in 2025 with a clear mission: help small and medium-sized businesses across the Pacific Northwest run better through technology that actually fits their needs.

We built this company after watching the managed IT industry slowly lose its original focus. What started as a service built around helping businesses run better became, for many providers, a machine for selling the next service tier. Columbia River IT Solutions was built on a single principle: understand your business first, then recommend the technology that makes sense for it. Not the most profitable option. The right one. As a Microsoft CSP, RingCentral, HPE, and Dell partner, we bring enterprise-grade tools to small and mid-sized businesses without the complexity.

Our Leadership

Meet the experienced professionals guiding Columbia River IT Solutions and driving innovation across our organization.

DAN ROBERTS - CEO

Dan Roberts is the CEO of Columbia River IT Solutions, where he makes sure small and medium-sized businesses across the Pacific Northwest don't have to think about their IT — because he's already thought about it for them. When he's not chasing down network gremlins, he's chasing his two boys around the backyard or figuring out why people play golf.

MATT SHADLE - CTO

Matt Shadle runs the technical side of Columbia River IT Solutions, translating "it's not working" into an actual fix faster than most people can describe the problem. He's spent his career in the guts of systems most people only notice when something goes wrong. At home, he's outnumbered by his own kids and wouldn't have it any other way.

DAN WEBER - Senior Client Solutions Engineer

Dan Weber solves the problems that actually keep business owners up at night. As Senior Client Solutions Engineer at Columbia River IT Solutions, he pairs technical depth with a straightforward approach, so clients get answers, not jargon. Give him a few days off and he's already got a bag packed.

Our Core Values

The Right Solutions

We only recommend the technology your business actually needs. Before any proposal, we take the time to understand your operations, your goals, and what your team genuinely needs to do their work well.

Honest Pricing

Your monthly rate is fixed for three years from day one. We won’t raise it mid-contract, add services without your explicit approval, or bill you for anything you didn’t ask us to do.

Local Expertise

We’re your neighbors in the Pacific Northwest. When you call, you always reach the same people who manage your environment, not a rotating support team reading from a ticket for the first time.

People First

Our work doesn’t stop at the server room. We design IT systems that support the people using them every day, helping your team stay focused, more productive, and free from constant technical friction.
