Mr. Bits & Bytes was started as a part-time
business in Rio Rancho, NM in 2000 while working for Gateway, Inc and the
Intel Corporation. It was
originally named MR. Bits & MR. Bytes when the "M" in MR. was the first
name initials from Mark Reid and the "R" was for Richard Holderbaugh.
After
Mark was laid off from Gateway, Inc. and then Richard was laid off from the
Intel Corporation, they went their separate ways. During this time our economy
in the technological field was diminishing. Their were quite a few Dot.com
companies going under and closing their stores online. Mark had started
another business doing the network and computer repairs leaving Richard
with the ownership of Mr. Bits & Mr. Bytes completing the internet
services. It was then the name of the business was shortened and
registered as Mr. Bits & Bytes in July 2001.
Richard had received grant assistance to
return to school for learning new technologies that was created for the
internet. Since then, the business was put on hold because of the economy.
Then Richard had visited his family in Missouri
in 2003 and
there was a high demand for his knowledge and expertise in this business.
After his relocation to Missouri, he was given another grant from the
state to purchase equipment to re-start this business full time to help other small
businesses help improve our economy.
