David Meyer

David Meyer

Owner

Dave has been in the IT industry since 1992, self-employed since 1999 when he started Technology Simplified, which provided IT support to small businesses in Rochester, Buffalo, and Syracuse. After achieving an accounting degree in 1989 Dave joined the accounting department for CCS in Fairport, NY. After working in accounting for a couple years Dave decided it was not the career he wanted and transitioned to the CCS IT department where he became “hooked”. In 1992 Dave left CCS and entered the IT World full-time at UDS and opened a Rochester office for the Syracuse based company. In 1999 UDS changed names to Rescuecom and Dave became the first franchisee. In 2008 Dave left Rescuecom and started Technology Simplified. In 2016 Dave purchased LyteSpeed and merged with Technology Simplified. Dave has always lived by the motto “Life is complicated Technology shouldn’t be.”
