Donny Saindon, our speaker, earned his degree in Computer Science from Southern Oregon University and since then has been a professional Computer Technician. In 2006, he and Amber Cortez co-founded Excalibur Computer Solutions, a technology services company that now employs five people. Excalibur mainly works with small and medium sized businesses here in the Rogue Valley. Since they have over 1,000 clients, a large portion of Southern Oregon's IT infrastructure relies heavily on Donny and his team. He believes strongly in creating and implementing efficiencies for businesses and uses his knowledge of technology to help do so.
With the rise of smart phones and tablets and their related operating systems, Donny is helping business professionals find new ways to be more effective at what they do. He and Amber are also avid network marketing advocates in the valley, believing that strong business connections are good for everyone. Both have served in various board positions with networking organizations such as Rotary, Chamber, BNI, WESO, and Active 20-30. Currently, in addition to being a "go to" guy for technology support, he also serves as the President of a local BNI chapter.
