About Kevin Nichols

Kevin Nichols is Co-founder and Managing Partner of CAL IT Group, a managed IT services provider serving Orange County and businesses nationwide.

His IT career began in the Navy, where he helped deploy an FDDI network on an aircraft carrier. He then joined the Department of Justice as a Senior Network Engineer, and after six years of service moved into private IT consulting. He was later appointed Southern California Managing Director for one of the largest service providers in the world.

Before founding CAL IT Group, Kevin and his co-founder built their expertise at one of the nation's largest MSPs, overseeing IT teams and projects for the military, government, Fortune 500, and startup sectors. After an acquisition shifted that employer toward plug-and-play solutions, he co-founded CAL IT Group to deliver a customer-first managed services model focused on long-term relationships.
