Meet Scott Starost

Founder, Chief Problem Solver, and the Guy Who Actually Answers the Phone

Scott Starost - Founder & CEO of SDTEK

Back in 2007, Scott Starost was tired of seeing businesses suffer from terrible IT support. You know the drill: expensive contracts, offshore call centers, technicians who spoke in riddles, and solutions that created more problems.

So he started SDTEK in San Diego with a radical idea: What if IT support was actually helpful?

What if when something broke, real experts fixed it fast? What if your MSP understood your business, not just your servers? What if they were so confident in their work, they offered a money-back guarantee?

Nearly two decades later, SDTEK has offices in San Diego, California and Fort Wayne, Indiana, serving businesses nationwide. But we’ve never lost that original mission: Save Your Day by making technology work for you, not against you.

The SDTEK Way

We do business differently because Scott learned early that relationships matter more than contracts. Here’s what that means:

🤝 Business-Owner Mindset

Scott started SDTEK as a business owner, not a tech company. He understands P&L statements, cash flow, and what downtime actually costs. Our recommendations focus on your bottom line, not the latest shiny tech.

🏠 No Call Centers

When you call SDTEK, you talk to our San Diego or Fort Wayne team. These are the same people who designed your systems, know your business, and care about keeping you running.

🛡️ First-Class Service

We don’t just fix problems — we prevent them. Our monitoring catches issues before they impact your business. Our planning prevents emergencies. Our training turns your team into your strongest defense.

The Guarantee That Changes Everything

Here’s the thing most MSPs won’t tell you: they lock you into long contracts because they’re not confident you’ll want to stay.

Scott changed that with SDTEK’s 90-day unconditional money-back guarantee. Find a better MSP in your first 90 days? We’ll refund every penny, no questions asked.

Why can we offer this? Because in nearly 20 years, clients don’t leave SDTEK — they refer their friends.
