About

Meet Ted Sadler

EXPERIENCED TECHNOLOGIST & FOUNDER

Ted Sadler’s interest in technology developed at an early age, starting with a love for tinkering on his parents’ family computers. This fascination only grew, evolving into small business endeavors and a reputation among friends and family as the guy to go to when something was broken.

Gaining experience through university in helpdesk and audio-visual production, then through working at an MSP out of graduation, Ted eventually moved into infrastructure communications and now works full-time as a network engineer for a Metro Detroit communications firm. At home, he continues to keep his IT skills sharp whether it be outfitting his homelab with enterprise network equipment or assisting small businesses with their computer systems, hardware, and software.

Ted has always believed that technology is enabling and empowering and wants to make it accessible to people in a way that doesn’t intimidate them. Having been in technology for over a decade, he witnessed an all-too-common communication gap between technicians and the end users. His goal is help others by sharing his knowledge in a non-intimidating way, free of industry jargon and smoke and mirrors.

Through founding Thomas-Michael industries, Ted hopes to help businesses in the Blue Water Area leverage both new and existing technologies to their fullest potential, taking the work and complication out of IT so business owners and workers can do their jobs better, easier, and more efficiently.

Skills

Success in my career so far has been due to my ability to adapt to any challenge given to me. Over time I’ve developed some skills, both soft and some technical, that have been particularly valuable.

I believe that successful customer service relies not only on technical aptitude but the ability to fully understand customer needs and communicate solutions clearly and effectively.

We have never had more than a 15 minute wait before TMI remoted in and fixed whatever issue we were having. They are professional and competent. I would highly recommend them.”
