Senior Support Technician

In 1986, Robert L. Nelson founded the information systems consulting firm of R.L. Nelson and Associates, Inc. (RLN) to serve businesses in the Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania area. RLN grew steadily over the years, delivering quality services to multinational Fortune 500 companies and many other privately and publicly held businesses throughout the eastern United States.

In 2007, RLN joined forces with Vertical Solutions, a Pittsburgh-based IT services firm, to create Vertilocity - an R.L. Nelson and Associates Company. The combined service offering and expertise spurred additional growth, and the company opened a new office outside of Denver, Colorado in 2012.

In 2021, Vertilocity joined HBK, where they found shared values around client relationships and service. Vertilocity now has locations in North Carolina, Colorado, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania as well as team members around the country.
