The Ariel IT Team

Our team members combine exceptional IT expertise and thoughtful customer service.

Bob McCool – President/CEO

After developing some of the earliest Local Area Network systems while with Johns Manville in the mid-1980s, Bob transitioned from purchasing to an IT career. He moved from Georgia to Colorado in 1994 and worked as a Computer Support Specialist for the City of Boulder, developing and implementing IT solutions for many challenges facing the city.

Bob co-founded Ariel Design Group in 1996. He merged the company with Marshall Information Service in 2006, and along with that company’s founder, Cam Marshall, deliberately shifted the company from the prevalent “break-fix” IT support model to a managed IT services provider (MSP), one of the first in the area. As CEO of Ariel IT, Bob personally handles many of the challenging escalated issues, especially those related to security, system integration and Cloud solutions.

Bob and his wife Daryl (owner of d.a.m. Cool Graphics) live in Superior, Colorado with their son. In his spare time, Bob stays active with his son’s sports and enjoys golf, snowboarding and mountain biking.

Andy Bosio – Systems Engineer

Andy joined Ariel IT in 2012 and serves primarily as a systems engineer – deploying, maintaining and troubleshooting hardware (including switches, firewalls, and wireless access devices) as well as related software and applications. He oversees the company’s Help Desk and frequently supports clients with individual work station issues. Prior to coming to Ariel IT, Andy worked for Avaya Telecom in their NOC, monitoring systems for the company’s larger clients.

Andy’s hobbies include optimizing the technology in his home, gaming, movies and most important, family activities.

Daryl  joined Ariel IT part-time in 2019 to help with office administration and to use her graphics expertise to provide marketing and design work for the company.
