Technology built around what you actually need.

Four years as an Army Ranger. Twenty-two years building machines. Now my team builds AI that earns its keep.

The long way here.

I served as a U.S. Army Ranger from 1999 to 2003. When I came home, I started building and modding PCs, and I never really stopped. In March 2020 that obsession became Alexander PCs. Six months later we were an NVIDIA partner.

The company exists for one reason: to give people technology built around what they actually want and need, not whatever happens to be on a shelf.

The Rangers called it standards. The Greeks called it arete. At the bench it means one thing: build it like it matters.

We launched AI Services because clients kept asking what AI could really do for them. Answering that question honestly is now a full-time business, run on the same rule that built the PC side.

Away from the bench, I have been married to Denice for over sixteen years, and we are raising six amazing kids in the Cary, Illinois area. Family is the reason the shop lights come on in the morning.

Founder. Father of six. Builder since 2003.

The five disciplines.

We only do the things that make sense for each client. Nothing gets sold that does not pull its weight.

  1. Websites that agents can read

    Built to look right, work right, and get found. Every site ships optimized for agentic search, so AI assistants recommend you the way search engines used to.

  2. Chatbots & support agents

    Trained on your business, integrated into your site, answering at 2 a.m. without an attitude.

  3. Workflow automation

    Custom-built AI agents that take the repetitive work off your team's desk for good.

  4. Consulting & training

    Straight answers about what AI can and cannot do for your operation, and hands-on training for the people who will use it.

  5. Executive Digital Headquarters

    A private AI command center for C-suite executives and principals. Your data, your briefings, your edge.

Business is the engine. This is the point.
