My name is Shawn Miller. I founded this company in 1996 in Johnson City, TN. Back then it was called New Age Computers. The idea when I chose that name was that we were in the new age of computers. I later learned that there was a religion out there called the New Age Religion that many people disliked.

I sold the company in about 2001 and the new owner changed the name to Networking And Computers. I then opened a second store in Greeneville TN and in 2003 I opened the third store in Bristol VA. I took the new owner on as a partner, but we split ways in August 7, 2007.

I bought out his interest in the Greeneville and Bristol stores and allowed him to keep the Johnson City store. To distinguish myself from him I changed the name again to Computer Pros.

9. System: I always look to the system, company, or policy for a solution. If a challenge arises I look to see why it occurred and what can be done to prevent it from happening again.

11. Gratitude: I am a truly grateful person. I say �Thank You� often to show appreciation. I recognize the simple comments of others such as phone notifications with this term. I appreciate everyone and everything in my life. I recognize that everyone contributes toward the team. I celebrate the wins of my clients, my teammates, and myself. I look for ways to catch others doing things right so I can point it out to them.

12. Leadership: I believe in leadership by example. We are all part of the team and no task is too petty for anyone. We all have our goals but we must keep in mind the greater good and help others when needed. I will always try to be a good leader and help others through my examples.

13. Customers: I will always strive to fix the customer first and the computer second through assurance that we can help and empathy of their problem. If a problem arises I will apologize first, and then fix the problem second. I recognize that attitude is the most important aspect when dealing with a customer problem.
