ABOUT US
Strategic Technology Partners for Growing Businesses
Based in Hood River but serving businesses across Oregon and Washington, DirectLine-IT works with companies that view technology as a strategic advantage, not just a necessary expense.
Strategic Technology Partnership
We work with businesses across Oregon and Washington that value long-term thinking over quick fixes. Our clients choose comprehensive technology management because they understand the connection between reliable IT systems and business success.
Whether you're a healthcare practice needing HIPAA compliance, a tax firm requiring FTC Safeguards implementation, or a growing company that wants technology to accelerate growth rather than create obstacles, we deliver enterprise-grade solutions with the personal attention that large MSPs can't match.

An avid motorcyclist and outdoorsman, Matt explores the Pacific Northwest on two wheels and on foot - from scenic rides through the Columbia River Gorge to backpacking adventures and fly fishing expeditions across Oregon and Washington.
