Judd Igler - Headshot

 

Judd Igler / Savant
Co-Founder

Judd Igler has been working in the computer technology field for 17 years. He attended college at Southern Tech where he studied Computer Science. From there he started his computer career at one of the largest closing attorneys in the state of Georgia where he was quickly moved to the position of Network Administrator. From there, he began working with multiple companies’ networks at a business called Digital Agent. He furthered his knowledge with experiences working on many different network configurations and support structures. Judd also began studying, and later became certified, to work on enterprise class firewalls and security systems.

After working in the support field for many years, he saw where many IT support providers were dropping the ball performing troubleshooting and network repair. He did not like the way the support systems were setup to gouge clients at high hourly rates for problems that always seemed to reoccur. In 2006, he partnered with Lee Heisman to start Savant, a managed services company. He started the company with the intention of bringing a new proactive approach to network support at an affordable monthly rate.

Recently, Judd has been focused on consulting his current clients on how to best secure their networks. Co-founding Ask A Privacy Officer (AAPO) was a natural progression. With AAPO, Judd brings the technical security part to the table from his experience of working with many different companies to secure their networks based on their industries standards.

Clay M. Westbrook / Ascent
Owner

After graduating with honors from the University of Georgia School of Law, Clay Westbrook moved to Atlanta with a car load of belongings, a Labrador Retriever, and dreams of wealth and success. After the real world swiftly crushed those dreams, he spent 15 years practicing corporate transactions and real estate law, working with, and learning from, many of the most talented and/or insufferable lawyers this country has ever produced. Clay and the practice of law parted ways for good in 2009. The breakup was amicable, with both Clay and the legal profession drastically improved as a result. Clay now works in corporate finance and financial restructuring and was actively involved in settling over $450 Million in problem loans for clients across the country. He also developed expertise in negotiating business breakups, litigation and bankruptcy strategy consulting, and settling accounts with taxing authorities and disputes with governmental entities. His consulting firm, Ascent, helps business owners, attorneys, CPAs and other professionals, providing seminars, training, and consulting on negotiation, litigation, bankruptcy, and dispute resolution. He most enjoys helping people in complicated situations that require original thought, and working with talented professionals who wish to better serve their clients. Clay also enjoys writing, history, sports, and the outdoors. Ideally, he would hike in the mountains all day, and then stay in a nice hotel. He resides in Atlanta with his wife, two sons, and two cats with whom he maintains a fragile truce.

Rotey in the zone.

“Rotey”

 Rotey was born in a relatively small town named Waterloo Iowa, where he spent his early childhood. When Rotey was 9 years old, he moved south to the metro Atlanta area. It was shortly after the move when Roteys parents split up, and his Father moved back north to Chicago, leaving his mother to provide for the two of them, and a young Rotey with plenty of time alone. It was during this isolation that his passion for hip hop was born. Rotey bought his first “rhyme book” in high school, and hasn’t looked back since. What started out as just a way to express himself has since blossomed into a full blown career as both an artist and producer, sweeping across college campus’s in the southeast. Fueled by a relentless ambition, Roteys fast paced wordplay and emotionally packed memoirs, coupled with his charming charisma and sharp wit ensure the young MC is not only here to stay, but to thrive.
