Clarity’s Vitae
Founded by Bruce Kreeger, a 40 year IT and Security veteran, Clarity Technologies Group’s mission is to help small to medium businesses (SMB) and government entities manage and maintain its computer infrastructure, telephone systems, security, and networks.
We help clients with 1 to 1,000 employees achieve their IT business objectives because Clarity Technologies Group, LLC comprehensively understands the needs and challenges of the SMB and Enterprise.
Clarity’s management team includes:
Bruce G. Kreeger, President, CTO
Bruce G. Kreeger is President and Chief Operating Officer of Clarity Technologies Group, LLC. Operating from its Corporate Headquarters in Mine Hill, NJ. Bruce also oversees the satellite offices in Manahawkin, New Jersey, New York City, Tobyhanna, Pennsylvania, Jupiter, Florida, Dallas, Texas, San Antonio, Texas, and San Diego, California. As President, Bruce is responsible for the daily operations of the business, and also maintains a hands-on relationship with all clients and our vendors.
With more than 40 years’ experience in radio and mobile telecommunications, Bruce came to the IT world very early. Bruce pioneered the integration of remote ATM machines with data centers via cellular telephone and the internet. Finding a need for IT Consultants as well as specialists in Security and telephony, he started Clarity Technologies Group, LLC in 2005 and has done consulting and design work for companies as large as American Express and Intercontinental Hotel Group.
Bruce has been an avid student of technology since he was seven. As one of the original “latchkey kids,” I usually walked into an empty home. I vividly remember coming in one day just as the phone rang. “What makes that thing work?” I wondered. I proceeded to dismantle our wall-mounted home phone, spreading the components across our kitchen table. Moments later, Mom came home: “What did you do, Bruce Kreeger!?” I calmly replied, “Don’t worry, Mom. I can fix it.” I then proceeded to reassemble the phone, and with a little help from my Grandmother, was able to test my work. When Dad came home later, I could see Mom formulating the familiar words, “Look what your Son did!” She stopped herself, realizing that the phone was fully assembled and in perfect working condition.
You could call this my start in the technology business, and I have never stopped learning and experimenting to this day. It’s fitting that Clarity’s 16,000 square foot NJ-based headquarters – where we maintain our network operations and service centers – is a converted school building.
I’m a big believer in giving back and helping my colleagues and network in any way I can. So, if you have a technology question, I’m here to help. The only “dumb questions” are the ones unasked.
