All About Watkins.Solutions
It all started when Jared was a boy. His father was counseling a man who was having anger trouble. That man brought with him a set of business cards that he had hired a local business to make for his excavation company, and he was quite frustrated - they looked terrible. They had been printed wrong, with the bottom half of the card on top, and the top half of the card on bottom.
Jared recognized the artwork, and he knew how to design the layout properly and print them, and so that's what he did. The next week, when the man came back for counseling, Jared presented him with the business cards. He was so happy, that he insisted on paying Jared for his work. The next week, he brought Jared another client with the same problem, and the next week after that another ... and so it began.
Pretty soon, Jared was solving other problems for local businesses. He built his first computer from scratch when he was eleven, and so he used his computer skills to help solve computer, graphics, and printing problems. He helped manage and build the local library's guest computer system. He built his first website in 1999 and began to rescue other business' websites that had been hijacked or held hostage by large, impersonal tech firms. One client got tired of calling him for help with her sign equipment, and so she gave it to Jared. Signs and banners were added to the list of services that Jared offered.
Through all of this, Jared realized that most business owners are passionate and skilled about one thing - their product or service. However, there are a lot of other pieces - like graphics, websites, signs, and marketing - that are needed to run a business. These other pieces require time, effort, and skills that most business owners do not have, but Jared is passionate about them. These 'missing pieces' are what Watkins.Solutions is all about.
When Jared married Krysta in 2009, he found that she had similar interests, and so she began to work right along side him in their business. Since then, they have added four new crew members: their sons: Enoch, Ezra, Ezekiel, and EdWord. Read more about the Watkins Family here.
