In Memory of Chris – A Part of ATCOM, always.
Chris has been part of ATCOM for as long as most of us can remember—and in many ways, he always will be. To this team, he was a big brother, a steady hand, a mentor, and yes, at times, the “crazy uncle” who kept things real. More than anything, Chris was family.
His greatest pride was his family—his wife, Sara, and their son, Colton—but he extended that same care and commitment to everyone around him. Whether it was through his church, the food pantry, supporting the Zero Prostate Cancer Walk as a survivor, or simply showing up for a teammate, Chris lived a life of service.
At ATCOM, Chris spent over 40 years helping shape who we are today. Early on, he was the “whiz kid” installing voicemail and networking systems. Over time, he grew into a leader, becoming our Operations Leader and a constant advocate for both our customers and our team.
Technology changed over the years, but Chris never did. He believed in doing things the right way—through consistency, communication, and a willingness to help. That standard still guides us today.
Chris’s impact is lasting. His presence is missed. His legacy is part of everything we do.

Most business owners don’t spend much time thinking about security when everything is working. Employees can access their files. Email is running normally. Customers aren’t

Artificial intelligence is everywhere—but most small and mid-size businesses aren’t using it the way headlines suggest. They’re not building AI models. They’re not hiring data

If you run a nonprofit, trust is everything. People give you their time.Their money.Their heart. The least we can do is protect their information. This
