How RGZ Started

Growing up taking computers apart — and putting them back together better

RGZ Tech Services was founded by Gabriel Rappold, Zane Rakers, and Roland Porter — three people who grew up taking computers apart and putting them back together better than before. What started as helping friends and family turned into a full-service IT contracting business serving businesses across the St. Louis metro area.

We got tired of watching businesses overpay for underperforming technology, or get locked into contracts with large MSPs who couldn't name a single employee at the client. RGZ is different: we're local, we're reachable, and we build relationships that last longer than any project.

Our Values

What we won't compromise on

Honest Assessment

We tell you what you need — not what generates the biggest invoice. If your current setup is fine, we'll say so.

Fast Response

Technology problems don't wait. Neither do we. Our 4-hour first-response SLA isn't marketing — it's a promise.

Transparent Pricing

Itemized quotes, no hidden fees, no surprise invoices. You know exactly what you're paying for and why.

Long-Term Thinking

We design infrastructure that will serve you for years, not just pass the job inspection. Shortcuts cost more in the long run.

The Team

Meet the founders

No account managers, no call centers. These are the three people who will actually work on your systems.
