Joshua Clinard

Founder & Lead Systems Engineer

My tech journey started with a fascination for how computers work. By my late teens, I was already building custom hardware and websites—an obsession that eventually led me into some of the world's most demanding technical environments.

In the U.S. Navy, I maintained the sonar and navigation gear that kept our ships moving. Out at sea, there is no "Genius Bar." You either know your equipment or the mission stops. That experience taught me that the best gear is useless if it isn't dependable; if a system can’t run 24/7 without a reboot, it isn't doing its job.

I brought that "mission-first" mindset to the private sector, managing infrastructure for medical, educational, and retail organizations. In these fields, a crash stops the important work—from doctors seeing patients to businesses processing sales.

At Abilene Tech Guy, I turn that discipline into local results. I’ve overhauled aging networks, deployed AI surveillance without monthly fees, and built smart systems that actually work. We don't just "fix computers"—we look at your whole setup to ensure it's fast, secure, and built to last.
