IT support, security, custom software and websites for businesses and K-12 school districts — on site across the Tri-Cities, remote anywhere in the country. Fixed prices quoted in writing, and a direct line to the person who knows your systems.
Most small businesses and schools end up with one person for the computers, another for the website and nobody watching security. Blue Ridge handles all four.
Small businesses don’t need a bigger IT department. They need one that picks up, prices the work before it starts, and covers everything from the Wi‑Fi to the website.
Did a great job on our website, monthly SEO, and helping us with a POS system.

I reached out to Kobe because I know from experience he is top notch in his knowledge of computers and security. He didn’t disappoint — he had it secured and up and running better than before. Blue Ridge should be your #1 choice.

Working with Blue Ridge has been such a good experience for our small business, The Red Flag Library. They were incredibly knowledgeable, responsive, and patient throughout the process. They were open to any adjustments and nailed my style for my site. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable, skilled IT professional.

We needed a web app for a non-profit… we chose Kobe because he’s quick, clever, and intuitive. The design of the app is beautiful and perfectly matches the website. Its functionality is flawless. I am so utterly happy to have met Kobe through this project and will recommend him for all web apps.

Who you’ll be working with
Kobe Brummitt
Founder, Blue Ridge IT Solutions
Kobe came up through K-12 IT — a school district’s technology department, then cybersecurity engineering for a K-12-focused MSP — before founding Blue Ridge. It’s the same systems, budgets and security deadlines small businesses deal with every day. What it comes down to hasn’t changed: systems that keep running, a price agreed in writing before anything starts, and someone on the other end of the phone who already knows your setup.

Service area
On site here. Remote anywhere.
Blue Ridge is based in Church Hill, with no walk-in shop. Hands-on work — cabling, cameras, Wi‑Fi and on-site support — happens at your premises across the Tri-Cities. Helpdesk, security monitoring, custom software and websites are delivered remotely to businesses anywhere in the United States.
It depends on how many people and computers you have and what you want looked after, so the price comes after a look at your setup. It’s always a fixed price, quoted in writing before any work starts.
Who will I actually talk to?
You get a direct line: one number for calls and texts, answered by the person who knows your setup. There’s no call center and no ticket queue to wait in.
What does “managed IT” mean?
Instead of paying someone each time something breaks, you pay a fixed monthly amount for your systems to be looked after: monitored, kept up to date, supported when staff need help, and planned so replacements don’t come as a surprise.
Do you work with schools?
Yes. Blue Ridge runs cybersecurity programs for K-12 school districts. They’re delivered remotely to districts in any state and work with Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace. See the K-12 programs at blueridgek12.com.
Do you fix home computers?
No — Blue Ridge works for businesses and schools, and there’s no walk-in counter. For home and residential work there’s a trusted local partner we refer people to; call or text and we’ll point you to them.
We already have someone who helps with IT. Is that a problem?
No. A look at what you have is a sensible first step either way, and for schools the programs are designed to work alongside your existing technology team.
