Driven by curiosity. Guided by integrity. Built to serve.
Tek3i began with a fascination for how things work, and a deep commitment to making them work better. Long before we were designing secure networks or future-proofing infrastructure, founder Kris was tuning hot rods in the garage with his dad, learning how precision and trust build performance that lasts.
That same hands-on spirit led him from muscle cars to motherboards, from engine blocks to enterprise environments. After years of working for Fortune 500s and cutting-edge MSPs, Kris felt the pull to build something his own, a business that combined deep expertise with a human-first approach.

Built on Experience, Refined with Curiosity
Built on Experience, Refined with Curiosity
With over a decade in B2B enterprise tech, including five formative years at Dell (55 courses, 15 certifications!) Kris cut his teeth across law firms, hospitals, financial institutions, and oil & gas giants. He’s worked shoulder-to-shoulder with 70-attorney firms, state Medicaid divisions, and even the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs.
Through it all, he’s stayed fueled by curiosity and a relentless desire to learn.
Tek3i is the product of all that experience, and none of the ego.

"Shoutout to Kris Elam with Tek3i for designing me a landing page! I told him I just wanted something simple that would direct people to my Facebook Business Page- and he delivered! very reasonable pricing as well!
If you need anything tech related I would use him- he was great at communicating and made any changes I asked for without fuss. Even when I felt like I was being annoying he assured me I was not" - MaCayla Lynn, Owner Checkout Clean Property Cleaning Services.

“I’ll never throw jargon at a client. I explain things in plain terms that make sense to them, because their business is just as valuable as mine.” -Kris
At Tek3i, we solve problems by listening first, using diagnostics, and designing solutions that anticipate what’s next, not just what’s now.
We’re not here to drop in, drop jargon, and disappear. We’re here to build lasting partnerships rooted in clarity, trust, and business-savvy support.
Legacy Matters Here
Legacy Matters Here
Kris credits his father, and his grandfather before him, for the values at Tek3i’s core: treat people right, stand by your word, and build something worth being proud of.
“They were respected by their community because they showed up, they were honest, and they cared. I want the same for Tek3i, and someday, I’d love to pass that on to my children too.”
What’s Ahead
What’s Ahead
Tek3i is growing, but not at the expense of what matters most. Kris remains committed to serving his community, volunteering with local nonprofits, teaching cyber safety to seniors, and making sure Tek3i is as human as it is high-tech.
As AI evolves, Kris believes tech should empower, not replace, critical thinking.
“We’ve got to exercise our minds. Tech’s a tool, but trust, grit, and human intelligence? That’s the real infrastructure.”
What We Stand For
Intelligence. Innovation. Integrity. That’s not just our tagline, it’s how we treat our clients, our systems, and our future.
Tek3i was built to help small and mid-sized businesses not just survive in a digital world, but thrive with confidence.
