CEO

James Richards

James Richards is a serial jelly bean eater with over 30 years of experience in the Information Technology industry. Growing up around the first generation of home computers, he always had a strong interest in technology and is continually grateful to be in a profession that he honestly enjoys. James is a problem solver who’s vision to provide quality is the foundation of Stronghold Data. His goal is to deliver solutions for customers that truly impress them with the outcome. His authenticity and compassion for his team and clients extends into the community with his active leadership roles. He is a harsh critic of tomatoes and mushrooms, but a lover of fast cars, family time at the lake, and discussing business on the golf course.
President

David Markley

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.
COO

Joe Thomas

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.
