EPV Solutions was started out of a passion for technology and the struggles of small business. As a business owner, I have had to balance family, marketing, employees, bookkeeping, technology and all the other hats we are required to wear. EPV Solutions works with small businesses to be more productive through the use of technology. This approach not only saves time, but saves money. Work smarter, not harder.

Brad Patrick - Owner Bio

Brad grew up in Collinsville, IL. He was involved in scouting from Cub Scouts and achieved Eagle Scout at age 15. At the time he was the youngest person in the country to achieve this accomplishment. While attending Collinsville High School, he was also enrolled at Collinsville Vocational School and completed 2 years of Electronics, twice earning State honors for his abilities in electronics. Shortly after graduating, he joined the US Navy and served 6 years on-board a Nuclear Submarine, as a Sonar Technician. He honed his electronics skills and maintained the ships computers, while operating as a sonar supervisor and ships training officer.

After leaving the Navy, Brad had a few career jobs including, Emerson Electric working on radar systems and 13 years with AT&T as a Senior Technical Manager, providing support for Missouri and Arkansas business services.

In 2004 the entrepreneur emerged and he spent the next 7 years working as a Technical Sales Consultant, Sales Manager and Co-Owner with a few local technology companies. This is where the passion and struggles of the small business owner became the focus of his business. EPV Solutions split from a local IT company to really address not only the computers and networking, but the use of all technologies and integrating them for small businesses.

Today, EPV Solutions offers a full analysis of the current environment and provides suggestions to small business owners on how to help make their business more efficient and ultimately more profitable. This high level focus concentrates on the use of Smartphones, web-based services, computers, servers and even training of owner/managers and employees. EPV Solutions has been able to create a growing portfolio of clients that not only use our services, but include EPV Solutions as part of their business decisions and growth.
