Boba, Tom Lambotte’s cute little French Bulldog is the BobaGuard mascot and inspiration for the BobaGuard name and logo.
Boba is happy, playful, and loves to cuddle. Like BobaGuard, security is important, and protecting his little French Bulldog brother, Archie and his human siblings is a high priority.
Boba loves to join Tom at the office and make his rounds, visiting everyone on the team and greeting many of our visitors.
He’s well known to be a friendly dog – he doesn’t bark much, but when he does, it’s enough to make the point… No one gets past Boba unless they submit to a few moments of play or a good belly rub.

After only a little over five years with Bobaguard, Jared recently moved into a new position as the IT Manager. His drive to learn new skills, always wanting to be the hero, and embracing change helped him rapidly move into this new challenge of improving experiences for our clients.
Jared’s highly detailed knowledge of Macs and the processes used by our clients means that he can share long-lasting solutions with our clients. He has also taken the new Help Desk Agents under his wing and shared his knowledge with them.
Before beginning at Bobaguard, Jared worked at Apple Store Genius Bars in several states over five years, providing valuable experience aligned perfectly with Bobaguard’s needs. With a Bachelor’s in New Media Art, Jared has additional experience as a freelancer in graphic design and animation, bringing a creative and attention-to-detail personality to the team.
Jared loves learning new skills, whether picking up some programming languages or constantly exploring the best new video games. As a hobby, Jared collects vintage video game consoles and carries a wealth of information in his head on just about any video game trivia you can throw at him.
When not fixing someone’s computer or spending time in a videogame world, you will find Jared and his wife on a walk with their 2-year-old Golden Retriever, Brinkley. You may even spot Brinkley during a video chat with
Jared, if you are lucky.

Christine joined GlobalMac IT in March 2020 as Tom’s (our CEO) part-time Strategic Assistant and to support the marketing and sales department. She soon was asked to join the team as a full-time employee due to her value to the team. In January of 2022, Christine was promoted to Marketing and Sales Manager for GlobalMac IT and BobaGuard.
Following our Core Values, Christine is always looking to support anyone on our team. In addition to her responsibilities in the Marketing and Sales department, Christine has also taken on tasks in HR and FnA to help Chris, our COO.

Passing the best test of character, Christine, like many members of the GlobalMac IT team, is a dog lover. Her two German shepherds, along with her husband of 22 years, make a great family that she gets to enjoy when she isn’t working. Regularly getting out into nature with her dogs and husband, Christine enjoys gardening, birdwatching, kayaking, camping, traveling, and a lot more. Christine is the epitome of “work hard,play hard.”

Tobias’ family life is as energetic as the amount of energy he puts into work, and he is on the cusp of running a small backyard farm at his house. In total, his yard and house are home to 2 cats, 9 chickens, 2 ducks, and a rabbit. He is an avid birder, enjoying the sight of more than just his own chickens and ducks.
Tobias is also a father of 4 kids, who, of course, help with maintaining their small chicken population. When he isn’t working or with family, he is making noise as a talented vocalist, bassist, and percussionist.

Jeremey joined GlobalMac IT in October 2019. He is the GlobalMac IT technology solutions coordinator, planning, implementing, and overseeing necessary technology solutions. Before Jeremey came onboard, he was a support engineer for Futuri Media, and before Futuri he spent 5 years working for Apple as an AppleCare Senior Advisor. This expertise made Jeremey a perfect fit for the team.
Aside from a love for videogames, Jeremey has a passion for technology in general, and loves his Thursday night golf games. He has to be the first in the group to have the newest products and often can’t help pulling computers apart to replace or upgrade hardware. He can also put them back together again, which helps.
Jeremey values spending time with friends and family, actively making the effort to connect with the important people in his life. When he is home he has two beautiful cats that won’t leave him alone, even if there’s work to do.

Chris is the one at the helm of the ship, steering the team around all obstacles and constantly looking for better courses to navigate while making improvements to the GlobalMac IT and BobaGuard. He’s basically Russell Crowe in the Master and Commander movie.
Chris is responsible for the company’s profit and loss results, the execution of the GlobalMac IT business plan, and providing clear and concise guidance to the team so everyone works together like a well-oiled machine.
He also realizes that humans are not just oily machines, bringing a genuine and compassionate approach to leadership.
Before joining the team, Chris had worked for many different companies developing their marketing plans and managing their finances. Believe it or not but he used to tour the country in a band (as the bass player), and also had a landscaping business before getting his bachelor’s degree from the University of Akron.
Initially joining the team in 2012 for bookkeeping, marketing, and office management, Chris rose to the COO position and now helps the CEO to steer the ship.
When Chris isn’t busy improving the company’s profitability or acting as the glue that integrates all of the major business functions, he enjoys woodworking, cycling, and jamming on his cigar-box guitar. (He most likely built the guitar himself.)
Chris’s favorite quote:
“It’s not enough that we do our best; sometimes we have to do what’s required.”
