We're excited to welcome DeShawn Dortch, Onboarding Solutions Engineer Manager at ThreatLocker, who will be presenting "Defending Against Hidden Risks" at our Anaheim meet-up just 2 weeks away!

DeShawn brings 11+ years of IT and cybersecurity experience, including seven years at an MSP where he rose from Level 1 technician to Senior Network Engineer and helped lead the shift from break/fix to a proactive security model. He knows firsthand the challenges MSPs and IT teams face every day.

His expertise spans Zero Trust, least privilege, network architecture, and secure network access, and he's a regular voice at conferences, webinars, and technical training sessions.

If you're responsible for protecting your organization or your clients, this is a session you won't want to miss.

Recap of last week! We had the greatest time. The reception party was great, had lots of corn hole tournaments that ended in some pretty serious fights…just kidding but it did get intense with some close ties.

We had amazing sessions that led to some pretty great conversations and collaborations.

Thank you to everyone who attended! Now we’re getting ready for Anaheim! Who’s going?

Central Mafia Partner Spotlight: Juan Mack

Meet Juan Mack, Technology & Business Ops Manager at Matrix Integration, 24 years with his company and 17 years deep in the MSP world.

Juan came up the hard way in this industry, and the proudest part of his journey is the moment he crossed from needing help to being able to offer it. You'll find that same spirit in Central Mafia, where he values a community that talks honestly, no vendor pitch waiting at the door. He also serves on the ConnectWise Partner Advisory Council, the MSP OneShare Advisory Council, and the board at Mentors for Youth.

His advice for fellow MSPs? Get your processes documented before anything else, you can't hold a team accountable to something that lives in people's heads. And stay curious enough to ask the community questions, even when what you've built already works.

Right now he's energized by AI and automation, but the purposeful kind. As he puts it, the goal isn't AI for its own sake, it's removing the friction people hit every day.

Off the clock, Juan teaches indoor cycling, loses whole days to yard work, and cooks killer no-recipe meals (just don't ask him to bake). He's joined at the gym every morning by Jet, his German Shepherd–Poodle mix and official accountability partner. 🐾

A line that's stuck with him since school in Panama, from Tagore: "If you cry over losing the sun, your tears will keep you from seeing the stars."

Welcome to the spotlight, Juan!
