Team
Ken Hershberger
Founder & President
Ken Hershberger is the Founder and President
of KC3 IT Services, an IT consulting firm that provides expert and personal
service to data-driven businesses throughout Hampton Roads.
Before starting his own IT services company
in 2007, Ken succeeded for more than 20 years in a variety of IT technician
and leadership positions, often leading large IT departments with
budgets ranging from $20 - $35 million.
His IT expertise includes IT relocations, IT asset
management, IT project management, remote data backup, IT asset disposal
and recycling, network management,
network solutions, technical support, information systems engineering,
information security, wireless mobility solutions, remote access security,
datacenter operations management, data disaster recovery, and data
disaster management.
What separates KC3 IT Services from other network consulting
companies is the business acumen Ken brings to each client. "We're
not here to just install the hardware," he says. "I bring
a knowledge of how businesses operate from the CEO on down, and how
IT can be used as a force multiplier, competitive edge and profit
center."
One of Ken's favorite sayings, which is also a work ethic that flows through his IT company, is from Aristotle: We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.

Best Practices
KC3 IT also implements for all clients the IT Service Management framework which is based on the Information Technology Infrastructure Library (ITIL) best practices.
Ken gained a vast amount of business experience by succeeding in many business environments including defense contracting, corporate, and consulting. His ability to get jobs done correctly and lead his teams to great successes always led to promotions. At one point in his career, Ken served as "Associate Vice President of IT, Service Management" in an industry-leading, publicly-traded company.
Ken earned his Bachelor’s Degree in Computer Science and Mathematics in 1988 from Virginia Wesleyan College and his Master of Engineering in Computer Engineering in 1999 from Old Dominion University.
His certifications include:
