We had the good fortune of connecting with Derek Goldschmidt and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Derek, we’d love to hear more about how you thought about starting your own business?
My thought behind my own company was to provide a quality service for an affordable price. I know how other I.T Service Providers charge anywhere from $50.00 to $150.00 an hour where I only charge $25.00 per hour.

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
What sets me apart from others is the passion to do good. I personally in my free time like to work with Non-Profits and work with the community in anyway I can. I could only have gotten where I am today with determination and motivation. No it wasn’t easy because there are a lot of challenges is starting your own company, I just had to focus on my goal and to keep my head up to start my company. I have learned a long the way that you can’t fight your own battles sometime, sometime its better to have others help fight those battles with you. I want the world to know that you can achieve anything you want to if you just put your mind to it.

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
I would take my friend to the Cincinnati Police Museum, We would eat at the precinct by Jeff Ruby, we would visit the museum, Union Terminal, Fountain Square.
