About the Impact Solutions Team

Bryan Wong

Managing Member: Operations

Bryan has been playing with computers since he was twelve years old. He would upgrade and repair hardware and software issues with the family computer throughout his teens. Bryan started his IT career with Packard Bell in 1995 as Technician. During that same year, he formed Liquid Systems, a computer sales/service and web services company, with his brother and cousin.

SonicStorm Productions was formed by Bryan in 2000 as a way to pay for his college education. The company began as a web development and consultation company but quickly grew to include multimedia and special effects services for clients. After receiving his Bachelor's degrees in both Informations Systems and Management from the University of Utah in 2002, Bryan joined the IT Group at the university's school of business where his responsibilities included hardware and software purchasing, Novell and Microsoft server maintenance and administration, computer imaging, MBA laptop support and training.

Bryan's diverse technology background contributes to Impact Solutions' unique ability to identify, develop and implement a wide array of solutions for organizations.
