Meet the Team
Keith Barbour, Founder and CEO
My first interaction with computers came in the 1980s when, at 8 years old, my older brother taught me how to program DOS on the family’s Tandy 1000 TX. Captivated by the logic involved with computers, I quickly began writing my first program.
In the early 2000s, I attended a technical training academy and, within 6 months, earned my Microsoft Certified Professional and Microsoft Certified Systems Administrator designations. From there, I launched my IT career focusing on on-site repair, desktop, and server support. However, it wasn’t long before I realized I could offer a more customer-centric approach to IT Services. With that goal in mind, I struck out on my own to create what is now known as KDA Tech Solutions.
Armed with a full spectrum of IT experience, I offer valuable knowledge in Productivity Software, VoIP Systems, Physical and Wireless Networking, Server Systems of all types, Security, Virus Removal and Mitigation, Disaster Recovery and Planning, Compliance Auditing, and much more. Coupled with my business development experience (derived from helping launch seven start-up companies in varied industries) I use my wide range of relevant knowledge to help make KDA’s clients more productive and profitable.
In my free time, I enjoy spending quality time with my wife, Sarah, and our little boy, Oliver.
Daniel Mott, VP of Operations
I grew up in rural York County and always had a strong desire to learn. At the age of nine, I dove into model railroading with help from my Dad. Building and wiring my own track systems became my introduction to general logic circuitry. As a motivated teen, I started my career as a residential/commercial electrician, eventually purchasing my boss’s company at 19.
In addition to my electrician work, I began doing cable installs, which sparked my interest to learn more about computers and the Internet. After completing my CCNA certification, I moved into a Network Engineer position for a global manufacturing and security firm in 2014 where I was responsible for numerous site networking buildouts and office moves. I managed their global network infrastructure remotely and occasionally on-site in places like the UK, Germany, the Dominican Republic, and Hong Kong. From there I’ve expanded my skill set in the A/V field as well as in the managed services space and am excited to now offer my full range of IT and Networking experience to KDA customers.
On days off I love spending time with my little girl, Liliana, and working on my hobbies, including metal fabrication, 3D printing, 3D CAD design, go-kart building, and racing.
Anthony Mott, Senior Technician
I began working in IT at 13, setting up computers for clients of my father’s business, Computerlynx Network, a predecessor to KDA Tech Solutions. Over the next three years, my father, David Mott, taught me technical skills and showed me how to listen to clients, earn their trust, and help them feel comfortable with technology. By 16, I was handling service calls independently. I also began working alongside Keith Barbour, KDA’s founder and CEO, and have continued to learn from him throughout my career.
Over the past decade, I’ve had the privilege of helping KDA clients solve a wide range of technology challenges. My work includes cybersecurity and malware remediation, computer repair, data recovery, network design and management, IT infrastructure planning and implementation, cloud services, domain and DNS management, and VoIP phone systems. I continue to build on those skills as technology and our clients’ needs evolve.
Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my wife, Esther, and our growing family.
It is a privilege to serve our communities, and I look forward to continuing that work for years to come.
