Your Trusted IT Partners
Handled IT Partners (https://handled.tech) is a Chicago-based, full-service IT and security management firm supporting companies nationwide, 24/7. We specialize in organizations where IT needs to function as a true strategic business asset — not just a help desk. We build and manage the complete IT operating model: keeping your environment running, your people supported, and your technology aligned to where the business is going — on-premise, in the cloud, or hybrid.
Through every stage of our extensive process, we are intentional about listening, understanding, building, and delivering the best IT infrastructure for your specific business. Our goal is to help you focus on your core business strategy, while we ensure all of your IT needs are handled.
Christopher's entrepreneurial spirit took shape early — while still a freshman in college, he launched his own IT company. He founded Handled (formerly SolveMyPC) to provide IT solutions and technical support to small businesses in the Chicagoland area. After graduating from DePaul University in 2009, he expanded the firm’s focus to larger clients, building the capacity to manage enterprise-level IT needs.
Over the past two decades, Handled IT Partners has grown into a premier end-to-end IT management firm, serving businesses nationwide. Today, the company supports a global network of clients, delivering expert IT solutions at scale. Originally from Los Angeles and raised on the North Shore, Christopher now resides in Chicago, where he enjoys lakefront living and exploring the city’s iconic culinary scene.
