  Dave Jooste President
  

  Dave Jooste

  President

  Originally from South Africa, starting his career in covert operations, he discovered his passion for tech. In 2011, after working for the United Arab Emirates in rescue operations he moved to the United States and quickly learned that his past experiences and certifications were not recognized by United States certification authorities.

  He started working as a minimum wage part-time cashier, where he learned the hard way what it meant to establish oneself in American society. He decided to accept the unspoken American dream challenge and started his path of reeducation and certification. After one year of arriving in the US, and with an additional medical background, Dave enlisted in the United States Army as a combat medic and currently serves to this day. He also engaged in certifications through the Department of Defense, Department of Homeland Security, and civilian institutions. He holds a Bachelor of Science in Information Systems and Security, and South African education in Psychology, Industrial Psychology, and Child Psychology. His certifications include cybersecurity, forensics, networking, web development, cloud administration, business operations, criminal justice systems, ethical hacking, and threat analysis.

  Through hard work and dedication, Dave has started small businesses, some of which have failed and some that have succeeded. He understands the commitments required to build, market, and run a successful managed service provider company. Dave is the owner of Cyber Tech Connection, a successful MSP based in Boulder, Colorado, and is also the President of the Managed Service Provider Association of America (MSPAA).

  Throughout his journey across multiple countries and three continents, Dave has gained valuable experience and expertise in technology and business. Dave is driven by seeing his daughter’s love for technology and is committed to giving back to the community so the next generation of tech providers can support our future.
