JD / Essential IT Services, Inc -- SDVOSB IT Company

[jdzluticky]

Essential IT Services is a an outsourced provider of IT Services for SMB / SME business. I first started the company as a part-time gig while on active duty in the US Navy in Sasebo, Japan. When I got out of the Navy on a medical discharge (honorable) I came home to Wichita, KS, went back to college, and relaunched my company focusing on the B2B side of the house. I got back to Wichita in 1998, we incorporated in 1999, and I quit my last employer on May 1, 2000. We currently have 11 full time staff including myself.

Welcome aboard, and thank you for your service — both in uniform and now in business!


It’s great to have you here. Your story — from launching your company while stationed in Sasebo to building a strong SDVOSB in the Midwest — is the kind of entrepreneurial journey that really resonates with a lot of us in this space. The focus Essential IT Services has on both cybersecurity and mission-critical infrastructure is impressive, and it’s clear you’ve built something with real impact.


I especially appreciate how you’ve positioned your company not just as a service provider, but as a trusted advisor — that mindset is key when working with both SMBs and government agencies. With your background and capabilities, I can definitely see EITS becoming a solid player in the federal space, especially with your SDVOSB and SAM.gov setup already in place.


Looking forward to learning more from your experience and hopefully collaborating on opportunities down the road. If there's anything I can assist with — whether it’s web presence, digital marketing, or networking with other SDVOSBs — I’m all in. Glad to have you here!
