Lance Stone - President

Job Titles:
  • President
My philosophy when starting OTT was I wanted to create a place that I would want to work at (fun and friendly.) Where there was no corporate politics and we could just do our job fixing things and helping people. We can help people with their technology and not be arrogant or condescending to people. We can actually make a difference in peoples lives and not just say it but do it. Lance Stone established On Time Tech in 2004 to provide IT services and support for small to mid-size businesses. Prior to On Time Tech, Lance graduated from LMU in 1994, obtaining a business degree with an emphasis on information systems. He worked as an IT Director for several law firms and accounting firms in Los Angeles during the mid to late 90's. In December 1999, he moved to the Bay Area to work as an Internet System Engineer at the data centers that ran Google and Yahoo. After several years of working in the enterprise, Lance decided to create something meaningful. He wanted to build a company that was a positive work environment for himself and others. At On Time Tech, Lance always says, "We work together." In fact, the team has weekly company meetings and yearly company outings. Lance believes in doing what's best for the customer. When he approaches a problem, he does so with high morals and integrity. Lance resides in Danville, CA, with his wife and two children. He enjoys hiking, biking, and learning about science; but above all, his family is the most important hobby of his.

Luis Navarro

Job Titles:
  • Senior Field Technician
Luis is a dedicated troubleshooter with over 30 years of technology experience and has been a Senior Field Technician with On Time Tech since the company was established. As a field tech for OTT, Luis' main focus is to bring peace of mind to our clients by not only solving their technology issues, but through education on technology solutions that can address their current or future needs. As part of the support team at On Time Tech, he is responsible for understanding our clients' technology and business needs, and making sure the two align. He does all this while keeping everyone confused with his warped sense of humor. Prior to working at On Time Tech, Luis entered the semi-retired life but still earned a fair amount as a freelance writer and a Telecom/Network tech. Luis successfully enjoyed the satisfaction of working in his pajamas with feet on the desk and a RockStar drink close by - he still works this way many nights a week. Luis also brings multiple certifications from AT&T, TCI, Viacom, ASE, Scientific Atlanta, and of course, Microsoft. When not working on computers and networks, you can probably find Luis at the gym, or out on the water jet skiing in the summer and snow skiing in the winter. He is passionate about his health and being active, as well as about the health of others and probably spends more time thinking about this than he should.
