Meet the Staff of WebDispatch.com:
John Schroeder is one of the owners of WebDispatch.com. John has a solid business background and understands the bottom line goals of doing business along with an understanding of how to achieve those goals through Information Technology. John was the North America Infrastructure Director for a multinational, multibillion dollar corporation. He was responsible for a large staff and numerous data centers. He was at the forefront of making Infrastructure activities in North America Sarbanes–Oxley compliant; which was achieved a year ahead of the federal deadline.
Nevertheless, John also has a clear understanding of end user concerns which are often essential to a successful technology implementation. One of his favorite expressions is that: “We can’t lose sight of the day-to-day business operations and the people who run those operations. They need to fit into all of the discussions.” John oversees our company operations where he focuses and complements the services we provide at WebDispatch.com.
John grew up in San Diego and holds a law degree from University of San Diego School of Law. John’s favorite way to spend a free afternoon is watching Perry Mason reruns although he’d be equally comfortable watching a Columbo rerun. John is also an avid reader and writer. He spends much of his free time reading books and writing novels.

Charles Barnes was born in Santa Clara and moved to the East Bay when he was 5 years old. He has a younger sister. His father was in the technology industry, and is still involved in field today. Charles has extreme knowledge of Mac computers (and other Apple systems including phones and iPads). He is also well versed in routers and firewall technology. Charles is our “go to guy” with these technologies. He’s also pretty good with Windows systems including servers.
How did Charles get his start in technology? His parents have a picture of a 2 year old Charles sitting at a keyboard. Too bad we don’t have that picture for this article. His earliest computer was an IBM 286 AT. His dream tech device that he doesn’t own today would be an iPhone6.
When he is not working, Charles enjoys games on Xbox, PS3, & Wii, going to the movies, and accidental rock climbing (a long story). His favorite movie is Tropic Thunder and his favorite beverage is Earthquake Zinfandel. Something nobody knows about Charles! He was home schooled from Grade’s 6-12.
