Our Leadership Dan Allen and Kerin Bachoo
Who we are and why we are here.
Microsoft Expertise. Local Values.
Dan Allen didn’t start Cloud Spire IT to just fix computers. He started it to bridge the gap between "Big Tech" capabilities and local business reality.
Before launching Cloud Spire IT, Dan spent years inside the Microsoft ecosystem, mastering the very platforms that power the world’s largest enterprises. As a Digital Sales Representative and leader within the Microsoft Sales Academy, Dan wasn't just selling software—he was coaching teams, optimizing complex Azure environments, and helping peers earn advanced certifications like the AZ-104.
The "Kudos" you see here aren't just compliments; they are proof of a philosophy. Whether mentoring a new hire or architecting a cloud migration, Dan’s approach has always been defined by clarity, coaching, and "Model, Coach, Care."
Now, he brings that same enterprise-grade discipline to Fargo, Horace, and the Midwest. He believes that a 20-person shop in North Dakota deserves the same security and efficiency as a Fortune 500 firm—just without the bureaucracy.
When you hire Cloud Spire IT, you aren't getting a generic support tech. You are getting a partner who knows the Microsoft playbook from the inside out.
Enterprise Discipline. Scalable Strategy.
If Dan is the engine of Cloud Spire IT, Kerwin is the steering wheel. As Co-Founder and Strategic Transformation Architect, Kerwin brings a level of structural discipline that is rarely available to small and mid-sized businesses.
Kerwin’s career has been defined by a single obsession: bridging the gap between complex business goals and the technology required to achieve them. He doesn't just look at servers; he looks at the entire ecosystem—from corporate governance and regulatory compliance to the end-user experience.
Holding prestigious certifications in ITIL, TOGAF, and ProSci, Kerwin is an expert in the frameworks that global enterprises use to manage risk and drive growth. Now, he translates those "Big Tech" strategies into practical, agile solutions for the Midwest market.
His role at Cloud Spire IT is clear: To ensure that your technology isn’t just a quick fix, but a scalable foundation. Kerwin provides the decisive leadership and strategic advisory required to navigate full digital transformations—ensuring that when your business grows, your technology is ready to grow with it.
Together, Dan and Kerwin offer a rare combination for the Fargo-Moorhead market: Insider Microsoft knowledge backed by Enterprise-grade governance.
We don't just keep the lights on. We build the systems that help you grow.
