Chris
President
Chris founded Alton Computer Solutions in 2006. He brought all the skills he learned while working as a Computer (and Printer!) Technician for 12 years for a family-owned computer support business. Chris has nearly three decades of experience in creating hardware and software solutions for small businesses. He enjoys working closely with customers to create systems that adapt to their unique business needs. He combines the fast-paced learning necessary for computer technician work with his love of tinkering with machines. The first machine he restored from the ground up was a 1963 Volkswagen Beetle as a teenager. When he’s not at work, you’ll find him salmon fishing and crabbing on his Klamath 19 GTX, hiking, and spending time with his wife and two daughters.
Rex
Computer Technician
Rex began working at Alton Computer Solutions in February 2018. Prior to this, he was always in school or working odd jobs. His hobbies are partially decided by the season. During the warmer months, Rex enjoys playing a round of golf or smoking up some delicious meats. In the fall and winter, he tends to stay indoors more often, whether it is to watch his favorite teams or play video games with his friends. He has recently taken an interest in red wines, so if you have recommendations feel free to let him know.
Blake
Senior Network Engineer
Blake began working at Alton Computer Solutions in 2017. He started his Computer Technician career as a helpdesk monkey in 2009, although he’s been playing with computers since the late 90s. Previous employers include Icicle and University of Washington’s Forestry and STEM departments. Blake likes troubleshooting and solving problems. He also loves to repair and restore cars (Subarus and a 1971 Chevy Nova) and two-stroke motorcycles (a 1969 Yamaha R3 and a 1969 Yamaha YG5-T). Blake’s also a rally racer, a record loving hipster, and owner of a pretty sweet stereo.

Niko joined the Alton Computer Solutions team in June 2024. He graduated fresh from UW Seattle Computer Science program; he is putting his programming skills to use in exciting and highly technical ways that give the team a new edge on technology. In his free time, he enjoys working on cars, brewing espresso, and baking artisanal breads.
