Justin Colantonio is the Managing Partner of Total Technology Resources and one of the founding members of the firm. Born and raised in Northeast Philadelphia, he came of age right as the Internet was starting to take off. Even as a youth, he always had an interest in technology, so much so that he won an award for technology in grammar school. He continued his IT education at LaSalle University, graduating with dual degrees in Accounting and Management Information Systems.
After college, he tried accounting as a career but quickly realized that was not going to be his long-term plan. He then delved into IT. He took a position as an adjunct professor at CHI Institute teaching server management courses. During that same time, he was hired by the City of Philadelphia as a consultant to help implement a new 911 system. Justin spent 2 years there helping the internal IT team complete a large-scale project , seeing it through until installation.
Once the consulting engagement was over in 2004, he had an interest in starting a business. He discussed this venture with a longtime friend and Total Technology Resources was born. Over the past 17 years, Justin and his business Partner Jim have grown their firm into a thriving Managed Service Provider. He is now responsible for the company’s vision and direction. He oversees his Executive Management team and has recently developed their new cybersecurity program. Justin currently lives in Southern NJ with his wife Kate and his two young children.
