Matt Blankenship

I am the Information Technology Manager over four companies. (Tractor Sales dealership, Federated Auto Parts Stores at four locations, Tri-County Rental, and Rocky Top 10 movie theater.) I maintain all the servers, computers, printers, routers, wireless mesh networks, websites and online marketing. I also manage our VOIP phone system, and Canon copiers. At Rocky Top 10 I maintain the projectors and servers and do troubleshooting when there is a problem.

Website Development company for small to large business. We build websites that are owner controlled and are responsive to laptops and cell phones.

Successful mail and ship store that won Crossville Chronicle’s Best place to Ship award! We also had Electron PC a computer repair center that worked on cell phones and tablets. Electron Media a website development company, in the back of the building has built and maintained over 60 websites.
Managed the store staff and accounting for the business. We supported local businesses with everything from payroll systems to printers and copiers. Sold the shipping business in June of 2017.

Kept all the computers and servers running at peak performance across multiple locations, and maintained our company website. Worked the front counter at the Crossville, TN location and answered the phone and was in charge of telephone and walk in sales. Took care of time clocks, payroll and inventory. On occasions I would dispatch trucks and do purchasing. Was a great family run business that was a pleasure to work for.

Operated this small computer business inside Business Express a local mail, copy, and ship store. We was very successful at this location. We sold new computers and computer parts. We repaired many computers and laptops.

Machineland was operated out of my home. I supported over 250 residential customers and 60 Crossville businesses. I also dabbled in computer recycling at the time.

Traveled to other states and purchased telephone central office equipment from and for telephone offices. Tested and engineered equipment of all types related to the industry. Engineered Marconi power systems and built and installed power plants for central offices and cell towers. Sold telecommunications equipment to telephone companies and cable companies. Drove class B commercial trucks at times to de-install or install equipment. Great company to work for and got a wealth of experience and knowledge from.

We toured potential guest around the resort and taught new members how they were going to use their timeshare. I should have paid them for the sales knowledge, and experience I received at Wyndham.

Managed an internet service provider back in the time of dial up connections. I managed Cisco routers, Windows 2000 Advanced servers, T1s, and hosted websites. It was a lot of fun running this ISP at what seemed to be the dawn of the internet. Fought off hackers from different parts of the world and learned a lot about how hackers work and successfully kept our servers safe and our clients happy..

I was a senior Tech at Dell in Nashville. I received an award when I was there for the most emails sent to Michael Dell for the most customer satisfaction. I always had other techs follow me everywhere I went asking me information, as they knew I was very knowledgeable about computers.

As the lead technician I helped jump started this computer business. We repaired computers, sold computers, built computers, sold hardware, internet connections, and performed onsite service.
