FOUNDERS

After years of developing systems, Gateway Solutions was born out a desire to better serve the technology challenges of organizations.

LARRY BETZ – PRESIDENT

Larry has always had a passion for technology. Beginning with his first computer, a VIC 20, he was hooked. However, like many of his clients, Larry started his business life as a salesman. At age 24 he was the owner of his first business, a restaurant. Since then his career has extended from restoration services to financial management.
In his professional career he always seemed to gravitate to solving business problems using technology. After building four automation systems for various businesses, he decided to move to business process consulting full time. He started Gateway Solutions in September of 2001.
