About Tech-MAR
Your trusted partner for managed IT, physical security, and communications since 2013 — serving clients across the Gulf Coast and worldwide.
Our Story
Tech-MAR was founded by Ben Marino on October 1, 2013 with a simple observation: small and mid-size businesses deserved the same caliber of IT support that Fortune 500 companies enjoy — without the Fortune 500 price tag.
What started as an IT consulting practice has grown into a full-service managed IT, physical security, and communications provider. Headquartered in Houston, TX with offices in New Orleans, LA and Mobile, AL, Tech-MAR now serves clients locally and remotely across the Gulf Coast and worldwide.
Over the years, we have built deep expertise across cybersecurity, cloud infrastructure, physical security, VoIP communications, and day-to-day IT management. Our team holds certifications including CISSP, ISSEP, Microsoft AI Cloud Partner, and 3CX Advanced Engineer — and we put that knowledge to work every day for our clients.

What Drives Us
Our Values
Reliability
We keep your systems running around the clock with proactive monitoring and rapid response, so downtime never slows your business.
Security
Your data is protected with enterprise-grade cybersecurity, from endpoint protection to compliance-ready frameworks tailored to your industry.

We cut through the jargon and complexity. You get clear communication, straightforward pricing, and technology that just works.
Partnership
We are not just a vendor — we are an extension of your team. Your goals become our goals, and we grow alongside your business.
Our Team
A Team That Punches Above Its Weight
Tech-MAR's team is built for impact, not headcount. Our engineers, technicians, and support staff manage IT environments for over 100 businesses across the Gulf Coast and beyond — a client load that firms twice our size struggle to handle. We do it by combining deep technical expertise with smart automation, proactive monitoring, and a relentless focus on doing things right the first time.
Our team holds industry-leading certifications including CISSP, ISSEP, 3CX Advanced Engineer, and Microsoft AI Cloud Partner credentials. We've built out entire restaurant chains from the ground up — POS, networking, cameras, and VoIP across dozens of locations. We've stood up offshore drilling companies from day one. We've migrated law firms to the cloud without a single hour of downtime. And we provide the same level of white-glove support to a five-person startup as we do to a global enterprise.
Every client gets a dedicated point of contact — not a rotating help desk. Our technicians are stationed across Texas, Louisiana, and Alabama, backed by remote support capabilities that let us resolve most issues in minutes, not hours. When you call Tech-MAR, a real person answers, and they already know your environment.
