David Elmasian

I have owned and operated an IT services business for the last 25 years.  I started my career in my family's real estate business, but I discovered my passion for technology and team building.  After several years of corporate IT support and advancement, I started my own IT company.  I have experience in sales and marketing, recruitment, financial analysis and working with thousands of clients and vendors.  What gives me the most gratification is mentoring many team members over the years and at this stage of my career, this is what motivates me.  Im fortunate that my existing business has been successful, and continues to be successful because of the great team that we have and that it doesn't require me to be involved in the day to day operations to continue. Over the years we have grown through several acquisitions and currently one of my sons has taken over the role I held.

• Small Business Owner.
• Experienced in delivering services to clients.
• Have worked with both residential and commercial clients.
• Understand the importance of sales and marketing and how growth is such a positive effect on a small business.
• Have mentored many employees over the years and nothing gives me more gratification when one of my team members experiences financial success.
• Very comfortable with discussing financials of a small business, whether that be a P&L, Balance Sheet or Cash Flow Projections.
• Team building and collaboration are critical to the success of any business.
• In my current role, I work regularly with new small business owners and assist them grow their business through the use of technology as well as solid business principles.

Although I have a degree in Accounting and Business Management, my experience as a small business owner has provided me with a solid education on what it takes to plan, start and grow a small business.
