About Tight Loop Solutions

Small Businesses are the lifeblood of the U.S. economy. I started Tight Loop Solutions in 2020 to support the small business community in Chattanooga and throughout the region. I have had the opportunity to interact with hundreds of small high tech businesses throughout my career and learned as much from them as they learned from me. I have also supported the efforts of large organizations and government agencies in their quest to find solutions for hard problems. Often the solutions came from the power of small businesses to quickly create solutions that others had missed.
