Janusz (pronounced “yahn-oash”) is our top contractor, as well as a cherished friend & neighbor. He is a structural engineer by education, has a genius IQ, and to hear of his skills and experiences, you would think he must be either 1,000 years old or some kind of demi-god. He says he comes from Bulgaria, but we know that he really came from heaven. Despite his accomplishments, he heralds a slower and more joyful pace of life — and one with a greater focus on quality and integrity. He is as capable and trustworthy as he is mighty, and we are honored to work with such an impressive, caring, and trustworthy individual. He can repair or install just about anything, and does not look down upon nor take advantage of ignorance in others.

By the time he was a teenager, Geoffrey Naylor was building his own computers and providing technical support to friends and family. Eager to combine his passions for information technology and engaging with others, he became employed as a PC technician for a big-box retailer in his hometown in Chester county. However, after spending 6 years becoming increasingly disgruntled by his employer’s prioritization of profit over quality service, he took up other part-time jobs as he worked towards his degree.

Geoff is a proud, lifetime member of Phi Sigma Tau, the international honor society for Philosophers, and is a class of 2011 graduate from West Chester University. His educational background helped him to hone his natural gift for critical thinking and communication, which have proven to be immensely valuable in his professional development. For a few years before and after earning his BA, Geoff spent many long days and late nights in various restaurant kitchens – with the goal of a return to the world of information technology.

He oversees the purchasing department, billing department, manages logistics, performs quality control, and continues to pitch in with technical support. And his technical specialty is Content Marketing Consulting / Search Engine Optimization (SEO), one of MetaTechnical’s many niche small business services.

Stephen Iskrant (Harriton 1997, Yale 2001) founded MetaTechnical while working as a full-time teacher in Bryn Mawr, PA. He then worked as a substitute teacher and tutor all around the Main Line, until computer repair/consulting became a full-time occupation.

As a kid, he loved to take things apart and put them back together. By middle-school he was installing floppy drives, configuring modems, and replacing hard-drives for friends & family. He remembers being shocked by his first $10 tip, because fixing and installing things did not seem like work to him.

In the years between the advent of the Personal Computer (PC) and the internet, he ran a Bulletin Board System (BBS) from his parents’ basement using a single phone line and dial-up modem. In short order, he began to receive hundreds of dollars in un-solicited donations, which he invested in his passion for Information Technology (IT).

In high school he became enamored of the Science Olympiad, winning medals in regional, state, and national competitions. There he recognized the potential greatness of a strong team, and forged life-long friendships while learning more advanced technical skills. At Yale, he earned money on the side by fixing computers and setting up networks. And now he has found a truly elite group of technicians and designers to form the best IT Management Services firm on the Main Line, with whom to serve a positive and supportive role in the community. MetaTechnical is a company where he, and others, combine their love of gadgetry with helping people better understand their environments; and the team now services hundreds of clients, from individuals to billion-dollar corporations, more than a dozen political entities, and over twenty-five non-profits in the Philadelphia area alone.
