People
When Top Notch Computers hires a new team member, expertise and experience are not the only traits we seek. Dedication and passion are required.
Sustainability
We are a technology firm but we prioritize clients and our world class staff above all else. We will positively impact our region as we build, scale, secure and manage information systems.
Brand Promises
Competent Assistance in 5 Minutes or Less
Whether a technical or administrative matter, you will be working with the right person before the 5 minute mark.
Customer Success
Clients who implement our recommendations routinely outperform competitors who don't. A proper technology posture and modern security controls will help you reach new heights.
Comprehensive IT Under One Roof
Our core competencies span more service offerings than any other tech firm you'll find. When the right person to fill a role is missing, we locate and hire them. If a piece of technology we need to best serve our clients doesn't exist, we invent it.
Our Managed Clients Don't Get Hacked
Over the last decade, we’ve completely overhauled our security stack based on deep data dives and ensuing analytics, industry standards, and relevant past experience. We are proudly accountable to those who heed our advice on data protection, organization & workflow, and information security.
Differentiators
Autonomy
Whatever the capacity of service, we are not beholden to any particular vendors. This includes software firms, equipment manufacturers, and SaaS platforms. Our loyalty is with you-when you win, so do we.
Leadership
Our leadership team, with zero exceptions, came from frontline IT service positions and worked their way to where they are. In leadership, knowledge of the subject matter is critical, and often differentiates actual, healthy companies from those driven by outsiders with an agenda.
Tools
While most MSP’s run directly to the same handful of vendors for customer management, workflows, and cybersecurity, our servicing and security stacks are designed by us from ground up.
Flexibility
As a Top Notch client, you can request service YOUR way (in which you’re most comfortable)-Ticket portal, phone, or email. All requests will be lent the same level of attention.
Meet Our Leadership
Dedicated professionals driving our mutual success
Christian Argie
-Chief Executive Officer
When Christian was 17, he started a part-time computer business out of his dorm room. Following a handful of “road warrior” gigs and government contracts, he set out on what would become a lifelong quest: Transitioning his childhood dream into the highest-volume IT service firm in the US, backed by the most talented IT group ever assembled. Christian has been featured on CBS, NBC, and FOX as a recognized authority in IT administration and cybersecurity. Outside of Top Notch, he is a frequent speaker at industry events, often advising other service-based entrepreneurs in scaling their firms without the use of private capital.
Did you know: Christian has never cared for sports; Instead, he spent his youth learning to play instruments (including his own hands) and sing.
Landon Bradley
-Chief Information Officer
Years ago, Landon was the star offensive lineman for the UVA Cavaliers, where he majored in business and minored in management information systems. Like Christian, he spent his time after in the corporate sectors and on contract gigs straight out of college. Upon joining Top Notch, Landon was already and expert in networking, virtualization, cloud, email, and support, and complex email systems. But what really sets Landon apart is his vision for leveraging technology in business-mainly through his love for data science. Landon now manages all aspects of the tech and process side of Top Notch, allowing him to flex his muscles as the data-driven leader he was born to be.
Did you know: Landon height of 6’8 matches his enormous personality!
Mary Meghan Hester
-Chief Administrative Officer
After obtaining her English degree from Ole Miss, Meg entered the retail industry at the ground level. Over a more-than-twenty year career, she most recently oversaw the integration of the Public Lands store brand into Dick’s Sporting Goods in an area where she operated as a regional manager. Since joining us in 2024, Meg’s impact at Top Notch has been nothing short of transformative. Her role is to oversee all of our “non-tech” processes, client-facing and H.R alike. Since stepping into her role, Meg has implemented cost-effective operational changes that directly benefit our clients by helping keep service fees lower than those of our competitors. Her ability to see the big picture while still managing the fine details is what makes her such a valuable asset.
Did you know: Meg has remarked on though we’re a small company, we are better organized than the Fortune 500 places she came from.

Mitch is always active in the community, convincing and demonstrating to companies everywhere that business systems and cybersecurity are essential components of success and are here to stay.
