Founder Story
From Hands-On to High-Tech
by Franco Presta, Founder
I was born and raised in Itasca, Illinois, in a tight-knit Italian immigrant family. My earliest memories are of being surrounded by people who built things — general contractors, restaurant owners, tradespeople, and entrepreneurs.
They worked long hours, solved problems with their hands, and poured everything into the businesses they created. But there was something else I noticed: when it came to technology, most of them felt left behind.
Computers, software, and digital systems seemed complicated, expensive, and untrustworthy. They weren't built for the people I knew.
I was one of the few in my circle who dove headfirst into programming and technology. And as I learned, one thing became clear: technology shouldn't be a barrier. It should be a tool.
