Founder & owner · Golden Hills IT
Hi, I'm Daniel Burgess.
Tehachapi local, IT lifer and founder of Golden Hills IT
I'm so grateful to live in the stunning community of Tehachapi. The first time I saw this town, I knew it was where I wanted to make my home and raise my family. After years of planning, I finally made the move in 2012, and I've never looked back.
B.S. Network Operations & Security

My story
A passion for IT, put to work locally.
IT has always been my passion, and I've spent more than ten years honing my craft and building a deep well of knowledge and experience.
Even through the 2020 lockdown, I kept pushing forward and earned my Bachelor's Degree in Network Operations and Security from Western Governors University. It was a big accomplishment, and I'm proud of the work it took.
All of that led me to launch Golden Hills IT in January 2020, and I couldn't be more thrilled with how far we've come. The Tehachapi community has been warm and welcoming from day one, and your feedback keeps us getting better.
