What Trick Dog Technology does

Trick Dog Technology, a division of privately held My Computer Works, Inc., is a channel-focused IT professional services company headquartered in Scottsdale, Arizona. Founded under the current brand in 2015 after operating as the on-site support division of My Computer Works, the company provides six core service lines: Onsite Deployments (short-term technical work and break/fix dispatch), Nationwide Rollouts (mass multi-location hardware deployments), Wireless Heat Maps (predictive, physical, and post-validation RF site surveys using tools such as Ekahau Site Survey Pro), Staff Augmentation (contract, contract-to-hire, and direct hire IT placements), Offshore Resources (delivered via partnership with Gabtech Global), and Website Design (ADA-compliant sites via Cloud Landmark partnership).

The company's go-to-market is channel-centric, serving value-added resellers (VARs), managed service providers (MSPs), and enterprise organizations that need to extend their service delivery capabilities without maintaining internal field teams. A nationwide technician network spanning 42-50 U.S. states plus Canada enables engagements from 3 hours to multi-year durations. The company reports operational metrics of 3,000+ successful placements, 93% assignment completion, 72% first-candidate fill rate, and 95% twelve-month placement retention.

Revenue is generated through professional services billing (onsite deployments, rollouts, wireless surveys) and consultant hourly rates or placement fees (staff augmentation). Pricing is quote-based and project-specific with no publicly disclosed rate cards. The customer portfolio is diversified across retail (Kroger, Lululemon, Journey's, Freddy's), healthcare (Arkansas Children's Hospital, Edward Hines VA), government (U.S. Navy, VA), education (Founders Classical Academy, Fairfax HS), and technology channel partners (Resicom, CCC Technologies, Aureon, Dynamic Edge). Leadership includes Luke Ford (CEO and Founder of parent My Computer Works), Taylor Scott (VP Sales and Operations), JT Driscoll (General Manager, Staff Augmentation), and Courtney Maher (Director of Onsite Services).
