When Brandon Roach graduated from Portland Bible College , he could never have even dreamed what God would one day involve him in.  Upon completion of PBC, Brandon felt called to attend graduate school at ITI, which he completed three months after the IT doom.  Although the job market looked less than ideal, Brandon ’s determination and resolve were great, causing him to send out at least 400 resumes.

 

Eventually, Brandon was offered and accepted a position with a commercial realty company, who soon after his hiring acquired a web design company.  He had been hired on for a part time data entry position, but after seeing his abilities and skill set, was promoted to a position that allowed him to administrate many of their IT and website tasks.   

 

During this period of his life, God was continuing to direct Brandon ’s steps into business ownership.  While working for the commercial realty company, Brandon realized that most local company’s websites lacked either functionality or the design element.   Brandon saw the need for a web design business that would create both the functionality and design element for prospective clients.  He also started to realize his interest in business ownership.  At this point, God opened the door for Him to create this much dreamt about venture.  His employers not only released him and committed to using him as a vendor, but also gave him five accounts to jump start his vision.  When CIRV, a development and applications company, first opened it’s doors in 2001, the hand of God was clearly at work.

 

CIRV continues to be a strategic solution for the real estate, mortgage, and niche business industries looking for custom web software, as Brandon had envisioned.  Their creations allowed websites to become effective marketing engines that enhance all sales strategy.  They also specialize in web development that integrates directly with any business model. The philosophy behind CIRV is evident through its acronym:

“Creation - Taking what's in the client's mind and making it work with the web and the business.”

“Innovation - The successful exploitation of new ideas, bring your creativity to life.”

“Relation - Knowing our clients and their business, our goal is to be on your inside team for your brand & website growth.”

“Vision - We always suggest where we can take your site next; we love seeing what the next challenge can be and making it work for your website.”

Business with a Purpose has greatly impacted Brandon ’s life in both his work and personal spheres.  When he first joined Jim Hargis’s small group for young entrepreneurs in 2002, he experienced deep friendships which encouraged him to grow, and still enjoys those close relationships to this day.  In addition to the relationship aspect of the small group, he has acquired business leads through the group.  Last year, Brandon was given the opportunity to enhance the City Bible Church website, as well as the Business with a Purpose website this year.

 

Behind every visionary is a great woman!  Brandon ’s better half, Jessica, has been a supporter and encourager of Brandon ’s even before the creation of CIRV, and they greatly enjoy the time they’re able to spend together.  If Brandon is not found at work or home, you will most likely find him playing a round of golf or an intense game of basketball. 

 

Brandon desires to influence and shape the business community, and has already made a noteworthy mark through his creativity and innovation.  If you’d like more information, or would like to contact Brandon , please visit cirv.com.
