About Us
Elevate Technologies was created from a passion for technology and an enthusiasm for local business. We started with a single goal in mind: help bring the joys of technology to our local community. Our approach is to make technology as accessible and exciting as possible.
​
Too many times have we seen people go to electronics stores and walk out with something they don’t need. We make those decisions with years of experience researching, testing, and working on these systems, so you can just enjoy. Whether you’re a hardcore gamer, a small business owner, or you work from home (or all the above), we can create solutions tailored to you.
Tyler Blankenship
Founder
Tyler formed Elevate Technologies with a motto to “create experiences that make people happy.” An engineer by trade (Go Hokies!), Tyler has always had a passion for learning how things work and how to make them better. He started as an amusement ride engineer, designing and building electromechanical systems for several years. His career goals took him to the financial planning industry, where he used his efficiency skills to help people maximize their money. His desire to start his own business and make a more local impact to his community finally led Tyler to start Elevate Technologies.
He enjoys soccer, breweries, and spending time with friends and family.
