Our Story · Est. 2009

From Two Friends to a Total Technology Partner.

Brew City PC started with laptops, a Craigslist ad, and a simple idea: treat every client like a neighbor — because most of them were.

The early days — two friends, two families, one company.

  1. November 2009

    Two friends, one vision

    Longtime friends and college roommates Kevin Brendel and David DeCaria become unsuspecting business owners — a small computer repair operation built on Craigslist, word of mouth, and a reputation for showing up and solving problems.

  2. Two Years In

    A fork in the road

    Dave makes the difficult decision to step away and pursue an IT career in Atlanta.

    Kevin made a decision of his own: hit the gas.

  3. The Growth Years

    From break-fix to business partner

    An intentional shift away from residential repair and toward the businesses that make Southeastern Wisconsin run — growing from a one-man operation into a full team of IT professionals and cybersecurity specialists, with a dedicated Low Voltage integration department.

  4. Today

    One roof. Every layer.

    Brew City PC is a total technology solutions provider — Managed IT, Co-Managed IT, Cybersecurity, AI Advisory & Solutions, and Commercial Low Voltage Integration under one roof, for organizations that depend on their technology to run.

Our Mission

Our technology solutions serve you, so you can better serve your clients

We started as two friends with laptops and a Craigslist ad. We grew into something we’re genuinely proud of and we’re just getting started…

Our Vision

To put the WOW back into technology and the client experience

One accountable team for IT, security, and low voltage — so local businesses never juggle vendors or get stuck between finger-pointing contractors again.

Our Why

Built in Oconomowoc, for businesses like yours

Brew City PC started with a simple frustration: local businesses deserved better than slow national help desks and vendors who pointed fingers at each other. Today we’re the single technology partner for businesses across Waukesha County and greater Milwaukee — handling everything from the help desk ticket to the cable in the wall.

As a foundational part of the Brew City PC team, she brings organization, reliability, and care to everything she touches. (Also, she has been putting up with Kevin since long before Brew City PC existed — which arguably qualifies as its own area of expertise.)
