Mike Stewart
Director of Operations
Mike is originally from California but with a longing to find a more balanced life, moved to beautiful Colorado. He has been building and repairing computers since 2005 and in that found a desire for a career. Mike was a Best Buy employee for 6 years working his way from a Geek Squad technician to a manager position. He saw the limitations on what he could learn in the technology field through Best Buy and began to search for more opportunities. Since coming onboard in 2011, Mike has worked his way through the ranks at Anchor and in December 2019 became Anchor’s Director of Operations. Mike hopes to lead Anchor to the next level with his passion and drive.
Jacee Dobbs
Director of Client Engagement
As Anchor’s first employee, Jacee worked for the company from 2004 to 2015 before stepping away to take an opportunity to be the Chief Information Officer (CIO) at a regional healthcare center in western Kansas. This role allowed her to dive into the nuances of managing technology in a corporate setting as well as the complexities around security in healthcare. While the experience was more than valuable, Jacee realized her passion truly lies with small and mid-sized businesses. Anchor was excited to welcome her back in 2019 as the Director of Client Success. Jacee brings with her a wealth of institutional knowledge for Anchor as well as a deeper understanding for budgeting, strategic planning and security in business. Jacee, her husband, and two small children enjoy small town life in Colby, KS where Anchor has recently opened a branch location. Jacee travels frequently to Denver to visit staff and clients.
Corey Pottratz
vCIO/Business Technology Consultant
Corey has been with Anchor since November of 2013. Corey not only has a technical background but also has a Project Management and Customer Relations experience. What attracted Corey most to Anchor were our high standards in Customer Service and the emphasis we put on the customer experience. Previously, Corey was an IT Manager for a Customer Service company. It was during this role that Corey’s passion for great customer service within the IT industry began. As vCIO, Corey is focused on aligning the business goals of our clients with their technology. Corey has been married for 9 years to Autumn and they have a lovely 4 year old daughter Khloe. They enjoy getting to the mountains as often as possible to soak in the beauty of our state.

James Varga
Network Administrator Technical Lead
I was the family "tech guy" long before starting my career in IT. After a decade in the financial industry, I've spent the last 7 years managing IT for my clients in New York City. Looking for a change of pace and a better lifestyle, my wife and I decided to relocate to Colorado with our three children. I love hiking, skiing and swimming. I'll also read just about anything I can get my hands on. We love being outdoors and are enjoying the amazing experiences that Colorado has to offer.
Jason Allison
Network Administrator
I grew up in San Diego, California. My love for computers started with games like Oregon Trail and Where in the World is Carmen San Diego. In the late 90’s my friend showed me how to build my own gaming computer and I was hooked. I soon found out how much I loved troubleshooting and fixed computers. Everything I know has come from my general thirst for knowledge. I love to know how and why things work and how to fix them. My first IT job was with a small startup pharmaceutical company where I learned a lot about small business IT and what it takes to get a company off the ground. Fun fact, I was born in Australia!
Joe Miller
Network Administrator
Originally from the small town of Ashland, MO, Joe Miller moved to Colorado in 1999 while proudly serving in the US Navy. Joe has been working in the field of IT since 1992. Joe holds a Bachelor’s of Science degree in Information Technology/Networking & Telecommunications from the University of Phoenix.

Dave Lillie
Service Delivery Operations Engineer
I was born and raised in a small farm town outside of Chicago, Illinois. About 45mins northwest to be exact. I grew up with sports and animals, mostly dogs. Never a big of fan cats but I’ll let them slide. I’ve played soccer ever since I was 5 years old and continue playing to this day. I moved to Colorado on July 4th 2016 and yep, I got to see all the fireworks from Illinois to Kansas. I moved to Colorado mainly for the outdoors. The years before I moved here, friends and I always had ski trips to Colorado and it was always hard to go back home, so I decided I’d make Colorado my home and don’t regret it. It’s been nothing but fun. I live with an 8 year old Goldendoodle that gets younger every day, I love getting him outdoors whenever I can.
Fun Fact: I’ll be a Certified Personal Trainer in May, mainly because I find new ways to injure myself whether it be with sports or anything else. Gotta stay healthy to keep progressing
Justin Frieze
Network Administrator
I was born in Omaha, NE and moved to Denver in 2000. With an insatiable hunger for knowledge, I’ve always been a “Jack of all trades” and enjoy being able to help people with my knowledge. I have been in the IT field for more than 15 years and specialize in delivering an awesome experience for my clients. When I am not being the office crackpot, I enjoy the outdoors with my friends and family, camping and generally just enjoying Colorado.
Fun fact: I’m a Mechanic and also enjoy spending my spare time with my kiddos working on my project cars!
Wayne Monnett
Network Administrator
I started getting into IT at a young age, as I grew up out in the country in central Georgia. During the hot summer months, my Mom worked as a Website manager for our local college and would bring home computers to use for different things. I was networking together the single box Macintosh units to play these polygon tank games against my Dad. So when it came time to decide on a college degree I went the path of least resistance and continued my journey of learning IT. I have that problem that many IT professionals do, that when a problem is presented and you can’t quite figure it out, you crave the answer and have to know what the fix or issue was, even if you aren’t the one doing the work. I think that’s what keeps me interested in this field, is the ever changing of problems into newer and more complex issues. I have only been at Anchor a short time, but it is already difficult to not be intimidated by the brain power they have working behind the scenes to keep businesses successful.
Patrick Kiah
Service Desk Manager
Patrick grew up in western New York and moved to Colorado in 2000. Online gaming got him into building PC’s for himself. This sparked his interest on the “inner workings” of computer networks and systems. Patrick’s time in the industry has been short by comparison to most at his level, only having been in the IT industry since December of 2009. He recently joined Anchor after working as Senior Infrastructure Technician, bringing to Anchor a broader knowledge of multiple systems/solutions and building on his best attribute: excellent customer service. Current certifications include Citrix Certified Administrator (CCA), MCP, ITILv3, Sec+ and A+. Patrick looks to continue expanding his knowledge with new systems that are focused on small business and to keep doing what he loves - making people happy!
Stephen Griffin
Service Desk Engineer
Originally from Mississippi, I was a military brat and traveled way too much. Eventually I settled in Denver because after getting stuck at Denver International Airport for 3 hours all I did was stare at the mountains and dreamed of moving here one day. I made that leap in 2015. I got into a tech career trying to outdo my dad who did ‘communications’ in the Marines, but he still knows more that me! I originally wanted to go to culinary school and although it didn’t work out, I still have a passion for cooking. Fun fact: I shook the hand of Chef Gordon Ramsay when he came to Mississippi for his Hotel Hell show and was even in the episode for 5 seconds!
Greg Moss
Service Desk Engineer
I grew up in a small town in Nebraska surrounded by farmlands but was born in South Dakota and moved around quite a bit in my childhood. I lived in nearly all of the fly-over states! As I was starting High School my Dad, who is a minister, took a call in Denver and moved us all out here. I went to college in Minnesota but returned to Denver in 2008. I’ve had numerous jobs, spending several years as a rural Firefighter, before settling into a career in IT. I play old man softball several times a week and enjoy Fine Arts. I still do many of my own paintings on the side, primarily portraits and landscapes.
Dave Vilanova
Service Desk Engineer
I was born in Warner Robins, GA but grew up in Misawa, Japan and completed High School in Bitburg, Germany. I moved to Colorado in 2005 when my Dad got stationed at Buckley Air Force Base. I got into IT because I have a passion for new technology and find fulfillment in life when I can help fix and solve problems for people. I live with my wife Audrey, our dogs Ozzy and Mowgli, and our ferrets Rosie and Evie!
Jill Jackson
Office Administrator
Originally from Long Island, NY, I have planted my roots in Colorado with my husband, daughter and labradoodle. I enjoy everything about this gorgeous state. Although I don't ski, I enjoy cycling, hiking, snowshoeing and road tripping while constantly being awed by the scenery. I have been in the IT industry for over 15 years as VP of Operations/Customer Service for an IT training company and although I've never been technically trained I know if it doesn’t work you should reboot it. I love being Office Manager at Anchor and I laugh every day working alongside this brilliant crew! If I’m not talking about my daughter then I am most likely talking about dogs, my 2nd favorite subject! Fun fact: I’m certified in Canine Massage!
