Matt Forman Profile Photo

Owner / Chief Techie

Since 2000, I have been working in the information technology field. My passion is the support of small businesses and local municipalities, in regard to their I.T. networks, security, and technology-driven business practices.

In 2006, I took over ownership and management of the Local Circuit and grew it from the one-man-band, which was doing break/fix computer repair, to the consistently growing 30+ client MSP that we are today.

Outside of the business world, I have worked alongside friends and supporters to provide clean drinking water projects and new water wells in developing countries around the world. I have spent time in places like Haiti, Kenya, and Malawi drilling wells, installing water purification systems and providing other social initiatives. In 2017, I founded the Gen1 Project, a 501(c)(3), where I currently serve as Executive Director. Our purpose is to empower the next generation with clean water initiatives, humanitarian aid, micro-finance projects, and various other advocacy programs which create and sustain life in developing nations.

I am a husband and father of three who enjoys time in the mountains, off-roading with my RZR, hunting, camping, and being outdoors. Downtime for me means getting out of the concrete jungle and off the beaten path.

We talk through some decisions MSP owners deal with every day: changing cloud-distribution partners because of payment-processing costs, moving from Synchro to Halo...
