They wanted to run a successful business that would allow them the freedom to work together and take care of their family. CloudCover LLC provides IT support and services with 8 total employees and 1 location in Columbus. Brent is co-owner/CEO, and primarily runs the business, while Holly is co-owner and helps with writing policies.
