In the release, Ramos attributes the closure to the toll of the pandemic and mental drain of the IT industry.
“As I was in business, I want to be just as open and honest with all of you now. IT is filled with challenges and complications,” he wrote. “As much as I enjoy them, they have an extreme mental drain. Add to that the complexity of navigating a pandemic. I have unfortunately reached my point as a business owner and Technician that I must re-evaluate my situation and look towards a different future. A future that is still unknown to me but I’m sure will bring great things.”
Ramos also noted that anyone interested in the office and retail space downtown should reach out about getting a tour.
