John Joyce has been fascinated with technology since a young age. “I was breaking things before I was fixing them,” he says. “The fixing it kind of became a necessity, because I broke it and had to figure out how to make it work again.”

He started his first company, Republic Technologies, while still a junior at the University of Florida. That company merged with CRS Technology Consultants in 2015, and Joyce is now co-owner of CRS, which has 18 employees and 140 partners. As a managed service provider, CRS helps its clients with all of their technology needs. 

“Technology has become so integral regardless of what you do for a living,” says Joyce. “We serve everyone from landscape companies and plumbers to first responders and every kind of business in between. All are equally important, and all of their needs are completely different.”
