Our Story
Who We Are

Run Lean.
Scale Smart.
Stay Safe.

We help small businesses use technology to grow — not as a burden to manage, but as a genuine advantage over competitors who haven't figured it out yet.

Our story
We built Managed Nerds because the tools the big companies use shouldn't be off-limits to the small ones.

Growing a business isn't just about hustling harder — it's about making smart moves. We help small businesses use AI, automation, and digital marketing to get more done without adding more to their plate. Whether it's AI-powered content, smarter workflows, or SEO that actually works, we make technology work for you, not the other way around.

If no one can find your business online, does it even exist? We fix that. From ranking higher on Google to running ad campaigns that actually bring in leads, we make sure your business gets seen by the right people.

Security isn't just for the big guys — small businesses are prime targets for cyber threats. We help protect your data, train your team, and keep you one step ahead of hackers. Growing your business should be exciting, not stressful.

Managed Nerds is headquartered in Augusta, GA. We're proud to be a Nextdoor Neighborhood Fave 2024.

Founder & CEO

Sharon is a former Arabic Linguist who served in Operation Iraqi Freedom before pivoting to cybersecurity, earning a Master's Degree in Information Security & Assurance. She went on to work for U.S. Army Cyber Command (ARCYBER), where she became a certified instructor for the National Cryptologic School and an elite graduate of the Offensive Cyber Operations (OCO) cyber operator program.

After leaving government service, Sharon transitioned into the private sector, serving as a Product Owner and Product Architect for Huntress. There, she helped design the foundational detection capabilities of their EDR and Microsoft 365 ITDR products — enterprise-grade cybersecurity solutions built specifically to protect small businesses.

Now, as the visionary behind Managed Nerds, Sharon brings her deep expertise in security, AI, and automation to help small businesses scale, stay secure, and compete with the big players — without the enterprise price tag.
