From a young age, Braden has been fascinated with computers and technology. Growing up in the home of an IT Professional, he developed and quickly learned how to operate, troubleshoot, and fix computer systems. Spending his free time in middle school and high school disassembling and reassembling, upgrading, and repairing computers and laptops, he gained a ton of experience early. He joined the AV team at Oak Hill Christian Center in 2013 and has played a major role since. He was mentored by the head of the IT department, and owner of a local IT company from 2015 to 2020. Learning various things, ranging anywhere from developing custom software, updating and creating websites, managing local databases, building and repairing systems and servers, and managing and configuring firewalls, routers, and networks. In 2020, Braden took over as the head of the IT department at OHCC and has remained in that role to this day.

With a passion and love for technology, Braden decided to start Direct IT LLC. His hope is that with his passion and love for technology, he can serve and assist those in his community who feel they always fight with their systems. Equipped with knowledge in the IT field, a strong, outgoing personality, and a background in customer service and care, Braden is excited for the opportunity to grow his business and services to better suit the needs of those he serves!!
