Pro Services With A Little Aloha

About Pro Services With A Little Aloha

Pro Services With A Little Aloha exists to deliver enterprise-grade technical services to small businesses and individuals who deserve skilled work done right — without the enterprise price tag or the enterprise runaround. Founded and operated by Kent Schaeffer in West Valley City, Utah, the practice draws on 25+ years of hands-on infrastructure experience across financial services, telecommunications, and the nonprofit sector — including Goldman Sachs, Wells Fargo, and Fidelity Investments. That background informs every engagement, regardless of scope. The name reflects a guiding philosophy: that good work and good character go together. "Aloha" means presence, care, and respect in Hawaiian — used to greet and part ways. Every service offered under this practice carries that standard. The core focus is DDI: DNS, DHCP, and IP Address Management. Most organizations running on ad-hoc network configurations don't know what they're missing until something breaks. Pro Services With A Little Aloha builds the foundation that prevents that — documented, maintainable, and sized for your organization, not a Fortune 500. Beyond DDI, the practice covers Linux/Unix system administration, network security, web development, and technical writing. Whether the job is migrating DNS infrastructure, standing up a static site, hardening a server, or writing documentation your team will actually use — the same standard applies: show up prepared, communicate clearly, do excellent work, and leave the client better off than before. This practice is built for organizations that have been underserved by vendors who don't prioritize small accounts, or oversold by platforms that profit from dependency. Open-source tools, published standards, and client ownership over vendor lock-in are the defaults here — not the exceptions. Simple solutions to complex problems. With A Little Aloha.
