EARL FOOTE, CEO OF NEXUS IT

PIONEERING TECHNOLOGY SOLUTIONS IN UTAH'S FLOURISHING LANDSCAPE

In the heart of Utah, a state renowned for its rugged natural beauty and thriving entrepreneurial spirit, Nexus IT stands out as a beacon of innovation and service excellence. Led by its visionary founder, Earl Foote, Nexus IT has carved a unique niche in the Managed Service Provider (MSP) landscape. Earl’s approach to business and life, characterized by an open, abundance-minded and fun-loving nature, permeates the culture of Nexus IT, setting it apart in a competitive industry.

EARL FOOTE: A BLEND OF TECHNOLOGY, NATURE AND MUSIC

Earl Foote isn't your typical tech entrepreneur. While his professional life is deeply rooted in technology, his personal life is a testament to his love for the great outdoors and music. An avid enthusiast of travel, skiing, biking, camping and backpacking, Earl finds a unique balance between the demands of leading a top-tier MSP and his outdoor adventures. This passion for adventure and nature isn't just a pastime; it's a source of inspiration and rejuvenation, fueling his innovative approach to business and technology solutions.

However, it's in the realm of music where Earl's spirit truly shines. Playing and performing with his band, 90 Proof, a band composed of tech execs and founders, he channels his creative energy, reflecting the vibrant and eclectic arts scene thriving in Utah. This blend of technology, nature and music makes Earl a multifaceted leader, infusing Nexus IT with a dynamic and holistic culture.

NEXUS IT: A TESTAMENT TO EXCELLENCE

Under Earl's leadership, Nexus IT has not only excelled in delivering top-notch IT solutions but has also garnered prestigious accolades. The company's multi-year inclusion in the Inc. 5000 list speaks volumes about its growth and excellence in the IT industry. Its standing as a leading regional managed service provider is further underscored by its recognition in the Best of State, Best of SLC, MountainWest Capital Network Utah 100, Utah Fast 50, CRN's MSP 500, Pioneer 250 and Fast Growth 150 lists. These awards are not just trophies in a cabinet; they are a reflection of Nexus IT's commitment to quality, innovation and customer satisfaction.

THE UTAH ADVANTAGE: A PERFECT ECOSYSTEM FOR GROWTH

Nexus IT's success story is intertwined with the unique advantages offered by Utah. The state is a haven for outdoor activities, offering a natural

playground for adventurers and nature lovers. This connection with nature not only provides a worklife balance for the Nexus IT team but also attracts talent who value this lifestyle.

Utah's industriousness and supportive business community create an ideal environment for companies like Nexus IT to thrive. The businessfriendly government policies and initiatives encourage innovation and growth, making Utah a hotspot for tech enterprises. The state's commitment to education and a lively downtown culture further enhances its appeal as a hub for forward-thinking businesses.

A FAMILY-CENTERED CULTURE WITH A FLAIR FOR THE ARTS

One of the defining aspects of Utah's appeal is its family-centered culture. This ethos resonates deeply with Earl Foote, whose greatest joy lies

in spending quality time with family, friends and loved ones. Nexus IT mirrors this culture, valuing the familial bonds and community connections that foster a supportive and collaborative work environment.

The interest and support for the arts in Utah also play a significant role in shaping the community and business spirit. The thriving arts scene is not just a source of entertainment but a crucible for creativity and innovation, influencing diverse sectors, including the tech industry. So much so, that a large concentration of the team at Nexus IT also have artistic leanings and capabilities outside of the workplace.

THE ROLE OF THE CHAMBER IN ECONOMIC PROGRESS

The Salt Lake Chamber deserves a special mention for its role in supporting and nurturing the

entrepreneurial spirit in the state. Their efforts in fostering economic progress, providing resources and creating networking opportunities have been instrumental in the success stories of companies like Nexus IT. The Chamber's commitment to building a vibrant business community aligns perfectly with Nexus IT's DNA of innovation and excellence.

Nexus IT, under Earl Foote's leadership, is more than just a technology provider; it's a reflection of Utah's unique blend of natural beauty, cultural richness and business-friendly environment. Earl’s passion for the outdoors, music and his community infuses Nexus IT with an energy and perspective that transcends the traditional boundaries of business. As Utah continues to grow and evolve, Nexus IT stands poised to not only grow with it but also to lead and innovate, mirroring the dynamic spirit of its founder and the state itself.
