Our Story
We look to provide that unique blend of experience, agility, enthusiasm, innovation, and capacity to ensure our clients are beyond satisfied.
Our journey began as an alternative after recognizing the desire for a different approach to business as usual: the challenge to deliver a contemporary approach to an evolving world. We accepted the challenge to offer an innovative experience with talent undaunted by change.
Out of this evolution a company was born: CyOak Consulting Group. It was founded on the notion of providing value-added expertise to the proliferation of imagery solutions throughout the private, public, and government environments challenged by circumstances, resources and capabilities.
Mike and I wanted to provide a fresh approach to the company/client relationship after having lived through the challenges of needy organizations continuously seeking value and settling for mediocrity or the status quo.
We created a company that works for what’s good for you.
