Chief Evangelist, Archangel Education + Technology

Our Beginnings: More Than a Technology Reseller

When Archangel began, we were simply a reseller of technology for schools. Though we're a small company, our vision and goals reach beyond a sales lens. From the beginning, we strived to become a resource, not just a reseller.

Our mission at Archangel is to provide safe technology for schools and become a lasting resource for those in need. We understand that technology is unavoidable; it's constantly evolving, and there's no way around it. Rather than resist change, we strive to equip students for tomorrow.

As Chief Evangelist, my role is to be a voice, spread the good news of all that Archangel does, and show schools our efforts to foster growth and provide opportunities wherever needed, regardless of the difficulty.

Our Beginnings: More Than a Technology Reseller

What Does "Technology with Soul" Mean?

"Technology with Soul" is about us—the people behind the technology—who nurture and build relationships for the betterment of others. A computer is just that—a computer. There will always be a new model or feature, but only one YOU. This is what we need to teach our students: they are the irreplaceable part of the equation. Technology can empower, but it's the human spirit that truly drives progress.

Connecting Students and Teachers Through Purposeful Partnerships

We aim to connect students and teachers through meaningful and lasting relationships. By partnering with schools nationwide, we help them integrate technology in ways they may not have had the chance to before. We established a foundation to focus on communities without access to technology, ensuring no one is left behind.

Our team diligently works every day to ensure that we keep our ears to the ground, constantly improving our company based on the needs of the schools we partner with. As a true testament to this, every department we've built is a response to feedback and suggestions from our partners, making our work an ongoing dialogue with those we serve.

Empowering the People Behind the Screens

At Archangel, we emphasize the people behind the screens and the machines. We're dedicated to helping students see technology as a field of possibilities rather than a source of intimidation. We provide opportunities for growth through internships, scholarships, and hands-on learning of real-world skills to prepare them for life beyond the classroom. We believe that technology is only as impactful as the people who use it to drive positive change.

A Vision for the Future: Technology as a Uniting Force

It's vital that we continue to educate and give students the tools they need to get ahead. Technology isn't going anywhere, so we must learn to grow with it. Our vision for the future is to create opportunities where every student can access safe, empowering technology that allows them to carve their own path. Here at Archangel, we envision a world where technology doesn't just automate our lives but enriches them and brings communities together.
