OUR BEGINNING

At age fifteen, David Birchmier and his father built David’s first computer together in the basement. This father-son time not only helped David bond with his dad, but also sparked a fire in him to learn more about computers. Fast forward a year or two, David was helping all his neighbors and friends with their own technology issues. Even at such a young age, David recognized that one must understand the person and their unique challenge before a real solution can be offered. From those beginnings, MPA was born.

In 2003 David started repairing computers as a business in that basement of his parents’ rural home. Since that time, MPA has grown into the largest and most extensive technology solution center in southern Iowa, comprised of ten team members and over 2,500 active clients.

Focusing on several key business areas (IT solutions, computer sales & repair, app development, website development, and marketing), MPA is fueled by an underlying passion to achieve three overall goals: Always provide responsive service, foster partnerships with other businesses to create software solutions that transcend devices, and to distribute that software in a national market.

OUR VISION

OUR TEAM

David Birchmier
CEO/Founder

At age 15, David Birchmier and his father built David’s first computer in the basement. Fast-forward 2 years, MPA is born as a solution to helping friends and neighbors with their technology.

David believes in Dreaming Big and, under his guidance, MPA has rolled out a comprehensive Managed IT program and launched numerous commercial products, seeing great success nationally and internationally.

Nathan Berry
IT Manager

The tallest among our crew, Nathan B. keeps us on our toes. (Sorry, guys.) He received his A.A.S in Computer Networks and Security from Indian Hills College. Nathan’s innate ability to solve problems and desire to help others make him a natural fit here at MPA, even if he is too tall for the back storage room.

Melissa Devereaux
Office Manager

Office Manager Melissa Devereaux has more than a decade experience in corporate banking with Wells Fargo and Bank of the West. “The importance of customer service was driven very hard by both companies.” She is goal oriented and dedicated to performing each task correctly and accurately. Also very laid back (perhaps stemming from the fact that she has three young sons), Melissa also enjoys spending time on the golf course, reading, or building her new business Nailed It.
