Byron Lopez - Logan, SBDC             

Byron Lopez is trained in information technology and worked for several years in the field. During this time he discovered an interest in fixing computers, and decided to turn a hobby into a business. Seeing an underserved market, and acting upon his own entrepreneurial inclinations, Byron founded X-SYS Computers in June of 2008. X-SYS was started to provide exceptional service to the Cache Valley community with a special interest in serving Hispanic clientele. For the most part, X-SYS is a family business, with Byron’s family contributing time and effort into making the business a success.

Byron is an extremely adaptable entrepreneur always looking for opportunities. What began as a retail computer software and hardware store, has since adopted several new products and services. These efforts have included X-SYS Ink & Toner, and network installation and service contracts with several local organizations, including the local hospital. Byron is now focused on yet another strategy, offering Spanish language computer classes taught at his store. Byron is an extremely friendly and talented entrepreneur who does not wait for success to find him, he finds it. The local community has greatly benefited from Byron’s business. Spanish language training and assistance had previously been unavailable to a sizable portion of the local community. Now, thanks to Byron, people will have the tools necessary to increase their computer proficiency which will lead to better jobs and a higher standard of living. Byron is excited about starting the X-SYS Academy, and has prepared the necessary equipment to make the class a reality.
