The Full Story
Hi, I’m Chris, and I've never worked for the FBI.
If you're looking for the former Assistant Director of the FBI, that's a different Chris Swecker. Sorry about that.
I'm an AI advocate, team builder, and technologist. For more than a decade, I’ve worked at the intersection of IT operations, cybersecurity, and leadership, helping people and businesses navigate complexity.
I serve as Director of Managed and AI Services at Appalachia Technologies, a Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania-based MSP and MSSP. I’m passionate about documentation, process design, and mentoring the next generation of tech leaders.
I speak, write, and advise on the practical use of AI, especially how small organizations can use it to boost productivity, reduce stress, and unlock new ideas. I speak regularly in local government and IT industry events to demystify AI and share real-world stories of human-AI collaboration.
Whether I’m speaking on stage, building AI workflows, or helping a team member level up, my focus is always the same: make it easier for people to do great work.
Let’s connect.
