Jim Harryman
Founder & CEO
JIM HARRYMAN
Jim is the fearless leader of the Kinetic team. He founded Kinetic more than two decades ago with one simple purpose – make technology do what it promises to do. He has spent the last 25 years doing just that. Every IT system Jim mans is fully subservient to its owner. When he isn’t reveling in new technology, he spends time with his wife Julia and their two sons who are grown, married, and both expecting babies.

CHAD THORNE
CTO
Chad Thorne
Chad bought his very first Mac as a senior in high school and hasn’t looked back since. To him, pushing the limit involves figuring out just how far he can push the performance on a Mac and testing his own IT knowledge and capabilities at the same time. This Cowtown native is super handy when it comes to configuring and deploying business networks and is one of 14 people on the planet who actually knows where ALL of the wires go.

BRETT HARRYMAN
Director of Client Success
BRETT HARRYMAN
Brett has been with Kinetic since he was six months old – just not always as an employee. However, Brett has taken all that he’s learned about the IT space in that time and developed a reputation among our clients as someone they can trust. Brett loves being able to share his knowledge to help Kinetic Technology Group grow your business. When Brett’s not in the office, for now, you’ll likely find him on the golf course, playing drums or hanging with his dog, Sonny. But soon, these will be a thing of the past because he and his wife are expecting twins!

KYLE HORTON
Controller
KYLE HORTON
Kyle is our financial expert at Kinetic. He’s one of the chosen few people who actually enjoy making spreadsheets and punching away at the calculator. His passion for math and helping people led him to join the Kinetic team as our newest accountant. Kyle has a strong faith, and in his spare time, you can find him at home or at church with his wife, three daughters, and son.

AARON WOODWARD
Client Success Manager
AARON WOODWARD
Aaron comes to us from Apple, where he spent seven years developing a passion for technology on an enterprise level. But Aaron takes real joy in motivating others and collaborating with team members on how to make processes more efficient to better serve the client. When he’s not working, Aaron, who spent three years in Thailand teaching English, can be found at the movies, riding his Peloton, and watching the weather — rain or shine — from his patio.

ASHLEY COOK
KinetiCare Coordinator
ASHLEY COOK
Ashley developed a passion for supporting technology in businesses during her career with Apple. Her expertise shines through with process, operations, and building relationships with customers. She aims to solve problems and provide a resource for others while educating and empowering them to do the same. When Ashley isn’t making our lives easier, you can find her in the great outdoors walking her dogs, crossing off her checklist to see every US National Park or caring for her houseplants.

He is a vet in the industry and has a wealth of knowledge and over 15 years of experience in the space – so much so that he tends to client’s systems better than they do. Steve is a natural at giving people peace of mind, communication, and problem solving. There is not much he hasn’t experienced in the Tech world – from security breaches, hardware transitions, server migrations, and on-prem to cloud moves, Steve is the guy for making your life easier when it comes to IT. When he isn’t saving the day, Steve recoups with reading and traveling – especially for mountain hiking and skiing.
