Runs your IT day to day: monitoring, patching, security, help desk and on-site work anywhere in Texas.
Your main contact for everything.
Tek Systems is a San Antonio managed IT company run by Gabe Brown. Behind every plan are three established partners, each the best at what they do.
I started Tek Systems in 2026 with a simple idea: every business deserves IT support that's responsive, honest and proactive, without the cost of hiring a full in-house team or the runaround of a call center.
Before Tek Systems I ran IT operations on-site for one of San Antonio's private clubs, as the one person responsible for everything with a plug: the network and Wi-Fi, Windows servers and the Microsoft environment, point-of-sale, AV, cameras and access control, and every device on every desk. That job taught me what businesses actually need from IT: someone who knows their setup, answers the phone, and fixes the problem the first time.
When you work with Tek Systems, you work with me directly. I monitor your systems, manage your devices, and pick up when something needs attention. When you need something outside my lane, like new hardware, printers or phones, I bring in a partner I trust and stay your single point of contact.
You call, I answer. No ticket numbers, no phone trees, no being passed around.
Monitoring and weekly patching catch problems before they reach your team.
Every price is published. Month-to-month, no monthly minimum, no surprises on the invoice.
Zero-trust protection by default, because cleaning up after ransomware is never cheaper.
I'm your one contact for everything: orders, support and service. Behind the scenes, these are the people I work with at each partner on your behalf.

MSP partner
White Cloud Security builds Trust Lockdown, a zero-trust application control platform. Instead of chasing known threats after they land, it works the other way around: only software you've approved is allowed to run.
Every file is identified with White Cloud's patented multi-factor file identity, so a renamed or tampered program can't sneak through. That shuts out ransomware, malware and unknown programs before they execute, and it's built with compliance frameworks like NIST and CMMC in mind. Their customers include government agencies, healthcare, finance, 911 centers and the military.
As an MSP partner, Tek Systems deploys and manages White Cloud on your Windows devices from White Cloud's own console, builds your whitelist around the software you use, and reviews every blocked attempt.
Sourcing partner
GHA Technologies is one of the largest employee-owned technology resellers in the country, representing roughly 3,000 hardware, software and cloud companies, from Dell, HP, Lenovo and Apple to Cisco, Microsoft, Fortinet and Verkada.
Founded in 1990 and owned by its employees, GHA serves healthcare, education, government and commercial organizations nationwide, with configuration centers across the country, including Texas. Its recognitions include CRN's Tech Elite 250 and Microsoft partner-of-the-year honors.
When you need equipment or licensing, you just tell me. I scope it with you, get the quote from GHA, place the order and set everything up when it arrives. If anything needs a warranty claim or a return, I handle that with GHA too.
Print & phone partner
Knight Office Solutions started in San Antonio in 1990 and grew into one of the region's leading office technology dealers, with offices across Texas and in Oklahoma City.
Knight isn't tied to a single manufacturer: it's an independent dealer for Canon, HP, Ricoh, Sharp, Lexmark, Epson, Lanier and more, and handles copiers and multifunction printers, managed print, business phone systems, document management and interactive displays. It has been named a San Antonio Express-News Top Workplace year after year, and earned top-dealer recognition from the manufacturers it represents.
You just tell me what you need. I assess your print, scan and phone needs, get the quote from Knight and place the order. Knight supplies the equipment, I connect it to your network, users and scan folders, and when something needs service or supplies, I'm the one who calls Knight.
One conversation covers computers, security, hardware, printers and phones.
