Our featured speaker this morning was Erik Dreyer-Goldman. Erik owns and operates Ask Erik Computer Services in Eugene and he spoke about the advantages of managed IT services compared to the traditional break/fix approach many businesses rely on.

With managed services, businesses benefit from proactive monitoring, predictable monthly costs, and stronger protection against cyber threats, instead of facing unpredictable expenses when systems fail or attacks occur.

If the idea of consistent service and peace of mind appeals to you, reach out to Erik and learn how he can help keep your technology running smoothly.

Our featured speaker this morning was Matt Boytz with Eugene Mortgage Brokers. As a broker, Matt goes to market to find the best mortgage options available, which is a major advantage compared to going through a retail lender that may only offer one or two choices.

Since a home is one of life’s biggest purchases, it’s important to know that not all mortgages are created equal. Whether you’re buying or refinancing, Matt and his team are here to help guide you to the right fit.

Thinking about your next move? Call Matt!

Our featured speaker this morning was Matt Montgomery, owner and operator of Tile Craft, LLC . He shared all the benefits of using Schluter tile panels for custom tile showers. Not only do they provide a stable, mold-resistant foundation backed by a lifetime warranty, but they also reduce installation time — saving clients money. Since older tile pans have a lifespan of about 20 years, we highly recommend calling Matt for a replacement when the time comes!

Our featured speaker this morning was Sam Krier - State Farm Agency. Once again, Sam found a way to make what many consider a truly boring topic of property and casualty insurance fun and engaging.
