Your Trusted IT Partners and Problem Solvers

Bob McCool – President

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. After 6 years With Ernst & Whinney (through their merger to Ernst & Young) as the SE Region IT Director, 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 with founder Ray Ingraham. In 2006, Bob merged the company with Marshall Information Service, and along with 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. Cam retired in 2019, and Bob acquired arielMIS, Inc and began doing business as Ariel IT Services (d.b.a)
 
With cyber security threats increasing quickly, Bob embraced the importance of increasing Cybersecurity protection, training and awareness to reduce the risk to our customers. Most recently as AI has taken the industry by storm, we are quickly adapting to its use internally and helping customers develop strategies for the use of AI tools to benefit their organization.
 
Bob and his wife Daryl (owner of d.a.m. Cool Graphics) live in Superior, Colorado with their son when he’s not way at the Colorado School of Mines. Bob stays active in his community and church. Bob enjoys golf, mountain biking, and working on community art projects led by his wife Daryl.
