Waco Area Network Specialists

Specialties

Our mission is simple. We want to help other small businesses in the Central Texas area succeed through providing an all-​in-​one technical support solution. Having one guy for phones, another for POS, one more for computers, and another for internet is not only confusing, but also inefficient and unnecessarily expensive. We strive to be the only tech consultant you need and provide fast, effective service that will reduce lost time and expense.

History

Established in 2014.

Our story is, at this time, rather short. Considering we were formed in August of 2014, WANS as a legal entity is very young. However, our experience and expertise far exceed our years. We are an offshoot of iPerformance Networks, where Zachary Saathoff (our current owner) started working in June of 2012. As a young, aspiring technician, he soaked up all of the knowledge that he could from iPerformance’s owner, Todd Gill. As 2014 started, Todd wanted to move out of the technology sphere and focus on pastoring his flock at Waco Family Baptist Church. Todd decided that Zachary had enough knowledge and experience to run the company and offered him iPerformance Network’s clientele. Zachary jumped in with both feet and never looked back.

Mom and Dad cultivated a love of learning and work ethic that have gotten me to where I am today. In the summer of 2012, I started taking dual credit courses at TSTC. Originally, I was working toward a motion graphics degree, but TSTC discontinued that plan just before I started, so I took web design instead. After I graduated high school, in May of 2014 and finished the summer semester at TSTC (which was still dual credit), I had just one semester’s worth of classes before I completed my associates degree at TSTC. I walked the stage on December 12, 2014, finishing with a 4.0 GPA. But my love of learning continues. I am curren
