We Are Stronghold

David Markley is a self-described cybernetic organism, living tissue over a metal endoskeleton. As President, he ensures that Stronghold Data’s services make full and efficient use of information technology to best serve clients. David specializes in systems development, implementation, integration, and information security. He likes to keep working in his spare time, and occasionally takes a break to sing with his Southern Gospel Quartet. David’s favorite color is pink, he enjoys spending time with his family, and has a good sense of humor fueled by a love of puns. He doesn’t know sign language, but he thinks it’s pretty handy.

When Joe's rugged good looks and sparkling personality didn't get him far in life, he decided to give hard work a try. Joe has been working in the IT field since 2006, and joined the Stronghold Data team in 2011. Joe has a passion for learning, solving problems, reaching goals, seeing operational efficiencies realized, and encouraging others to do the same. Joe is committed to meeting our client's needs by overseeing teams of knowledgeable engineers who provide excellent service. He enjoys the St. Louis Cardinals baseball team, mountain biking, and working out on his lunch breaks. Joe spends his spare time with his wife and two kids and loves (almost) every minute of it.
