About Stephen Sweeney
Stephen has spent nearly a decade leading Uprite Services, building it into a trusted managed IT and cybersecurity partner for small and mid sized businesses across Houston and the wider Texas market. He holds an MBA from the University of Virginia and sits at the intersection of practical technology leadership and emerging AI, helping companies navigate complexity without losing sight of the human side of business.
His focus is straightforward. Help business owners protect what they have built, make confident technology decisions, and keep their teams productive and secure. When he is not thinking about the future of work, you will find him on the pickleball court or diving somewhere warm.
He writes about workplace productivity, technology, and keeping teams secure and running smoothly, along with the practical side of choosing and working with an IT provider. Much of that writing is aimed at owners and operators who need to make a decision without a technical background to fall back on.
