Join us as we explore the origins of Sierra Miles, their journey over the past nine years, and their vision for the future.

The Beginning of Sierra Miles

Sierra Miles was born out of a shared vision between Brandon App and Tim Miles. With over 15 years of private consulting experience, Tim recognized the need for a business that offered more than just consulting services. He wanted to create a comprehensive IT service provider that could address the myriad technological needs of businesses in Northern Nevada. Enter Brandon, who brought his expertise in the business end of things, and together they formed Sierra Miles.

The early days were humble, with no office or building—just a coffee table and a determination to make a difference. Both Tim and Brandon saw a gap in the market for high-quality IT services and innovative products. They realized that many clients were not receiving the advanced solutions they needed, especially as technology rapidly evolved with cloud-based applications and cybersecurity challenges.

A Passion for Problem-Solving and Technology

For Tim, the passion for technology started with a love for troubleshooting and problem-solving. He enjoyed taking things apart, understanding how they worked, and helping people navigate the complex world of technology. Brandon's journey began in middle school, tinkering with old computers and finding ways to connect to the internet. His interest grew as he explored the technological side of real estate, eventually leading him to partner with Tim in establishing Sierra Miles.

Building a Business on Client-Centric Values

From the outset, Sierra Miles has been focused on creating an exceptional client experience. Tim's knack for connecting with people and understanding their needs, combined with Brandon's technical expertise, laid the foundation for a client-centric approach. They saw an opportunity to bridge the gap between technology and the end-user, making it accessible and understandable for everyone.

Reflections on Nine Years of Success

As Sierra Miles celebrates its ninth anniversary, Brandon and Tim reflect on their journey. One of their biggest takeaways has been the ability to interact with various industries, from healthcare and law firms to retail and small businesses. This diversity has enriched their understanding of different business challenges and driven their commitment to providing tailored IT solutions.

Tim highlights the importance of building robust toolsets for cybersecurity—a continuous battle that requires vigilance and innovation. Over the years, Sierra Miles has developed and refined its tools to ensure clients receive the highest level of protection and service. These tools are not static; they evolve to meet the ever-changing landscape of cyber threats.

Looking Ahead: Future Innovations and Expansion

So, what's next for Sierra Miles? The focus remains on sharpening their toolsets and staying ahead in the cybersecurity battle. Brandon and Tim emphasize the importance of continuous improvement, not only in their products and services but also in fostering a positive work environment for their employees.

They are exploring new service offerings that complement their core IT and cybersecurity services.
