Alexander's journey began uniquely as an Army brat who experienced worldwide cultures and locations before his family settled in Western Washington. In the suburb of Lacey, near Olympia, Alexander developed an early interest in electronics and the emerging world of home PCs in the mid-1990s.

 Embracing both his technical curiosity and a sense of civic duty, Alexander joined the United States Army in 2005. He served in the Signal Corps as an Analog Communications Network Technician (25F), supporting critical operations with US Army Europe and the 1st Armored Division in Germany. His commitment also took him to the front lines of Operation Iraqi Freedom in 2008.

While in the Army, Alexander was exposed to various technologies, including Linux and Python. Upon leaving the Army in 2010, Alexander relocated to Phoenix, Arizona, and started working to further refine his military skill set at several companies in the metro valley.

During this time of refinement, Alexander would hone his ability for complex problem-solving, technical issue diagnosis, critical thinking, and programmatic automation. Alexander was introduced to “Chef Infra” and “Ansible Automation” in mid-2018. He has developed these skills and continued to refine them.

Although automating “Infrastructure as Code” (IaC) is typically a realm of the Enterprise business, Alexander is committed to bringing these skills and benefits to the small business entrepreneur, convinced that a small business properly positioned for growth, with a solid technological foundation can benefit orders of magnitude more than a large-scale enterprise.

Alexander is excited to work with your team to help build that solid technological base, empowering his customers to scale sustainably in their small business journey into the future.

Amanda grew up in the beautiful Inland Empire of Riverside, California. In the early 2000s, her family moved to the vibrant farming communities of Northeast South Dakota. Her educational pursuits reflect her commitment to excellence, having completed her undergraduate degree with a minor in business in 2008, followed by a master’s in business administration in 2010. Her dedication to knowledge didn't stop there, as she went on to achieve a Doctorate in Business Management in 2013.

In 2012, while pursuing her Doctorate, Amanda's career took an exciting turn when she relocated to the dynamic Phoenix Metro Valley, seizing a work promotion that propelled her up the corporate ladder. 

In 2017, Amanda was pivotal in transforming AdviNow Medical from a humble startup into a cutting-edge medical innovation workshop poised to revolutionize our interactions with medical professionals. Her strategic guidance saw AdviNow grow from a small team of fewer than ten individuals to a thriving workforce of nearly 30, all while ensuring responsible and sustainable growth.

Amanda's reputation as a business catalyst continued to flourish, with her next challenge arriving in 2019 when Ryan Hicken enlisted her expertise to scale a Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) company from a modest ten employees to an industry powerhouse. Under Amanda's unwavering guidance, HickenAir evolved into a family-run force in the HVAC sector, consistently dominating the commercial and new build segments, now boasting nearly 40 dedicated employees.

Amanda's skills and unique approach to business have made her a sought-after partner for entrepreneurs on their growth journey. She is enthusiastic about the opportunity to bring her passion and expertise to your company and is ready to explore the possibilities of a partnership that could redefine your success.
