Experience You Can Count On. Solutions Built to Last.
As Senior Field Engineer, Kevin Yeakey brings more than 28 years of IT experience to First IT Solutions, combining deep technical knowledge, hands-on expertise, and a steady commitment to keeping businesses secure, connected, and operational. He serves as a trusted technical resource for clients, helping organizations solve complex technology challenges and build reliable IT environments that support their long-term goals.
Kevin’s approach to technology is grounded in discipline, service, and accountability. Before beginning his civilian IT career, he proudly served 12 years in the United States Air Force, an experience that helped shape the leadership, attention to detail, and problem-solving skills he continues to bring to his work today. He later earned an associate degree in computer science and continued building broad experience across a wide range of IT systems and environments.
Kevin joined First IT Solutions in November 2005 and has now spent more than 20 years with the company. That history gives him an exceptional knowledge of First IT’s clients, systems, and growth over time. His expertise spans network infrastructure, enterprise administration, cybersecurity, and business continuity, with a particular focus on helping businesses prepare for the unexpected.
Kevin believes strong IT support is about more than fixing a problem after something goes wrong. It means identifying vulnerabilities early, planning for disruptions, reducing risk, and creating systems that allow businesses to keep operating when challenges arise. Known for his calm and practical approach, Kevin brings confidence to complex situations and takes pride in finding solutions that work in the real world.
“The best technology solutions are the ones that keep a business moving, especially when the unexpected happens.”

Outside of work, Kevin’s greatest priorities are family and home. He has been married for 26 years and is a proud father of three and grandfather of seven. He is also a major cat person and shares his home with four cats.
Kevin is just as comfortable around a smoker or grill as he is around a network rack. He enjoys cooking, BBQ, and smoking meat, and brings the same patience and attention to detail to a great brisket that he brings to technology. For Kevin, getting it right is worth the time it takes.
