Our Story: Built on Passion, Driven by People

From Lisa A. Brown, Founder and CEO of CST Group Inc.

I started CST Group in 2000 because I knew businesses deserved better from their IT providers.

I'd seen what happened when technology companies failed to listen, communicate, or deliver on their promises. I knew there had to be a better way.

As a single mom raising two children, I took a leap of faith and built CST Group from the ground up. I wore every hat, solved every problem, and worked hard to create the kind of IT company I wished more businesses had: knowledgeable, dependable, and genuinely invested in its clients.

Along the way, I married my childhood sweetheart, Shawn, who joined me in building the business. Our strengths are different, but that's what makes us a great team. Today, CST Group is supported by an incredible team of IT professionals who share our commitment to helping clients succeed.

We're proud of how far we've come, but what matters most is the relationships we've built and the businesses we're able to help.

Passionate NOT Pushy. That's Who We Are.

I love technology. I love solving problems. And I really love helping people understand their options so they can make confident decisions.

Sometimes, that enthusiasm comes out in a big way! The phrase Passionate NOT Pushy started after a meeting where I spent hours educating a local municipality about its technology needs. When someone described me as passionate rather than pushy, I knew we'd found the perfect way to explain how we do business.

We're here to educate, not pressure. To guide, not dictate. And to help you find the right solutions, even if that means simply answering questions and helping you understand where you stand.

Because you deserve an IT partner who cares as much about your success as you do.
