Meet Founder & CEO, William Kohl
A Spark of Curiosity Ignites a Lifelong Passion
Here at F1 iT, our story begins not with lines of code, but with a screwdriver and a healthy dose of curiosity. William Kohl, our founder, possessed an insatiable desire to understand how things worked. From dismantling the family radio to woodworking projects, William’s youthful explorations fueled a passion for technology that would one day revolutionize dental care.
From Hobbyist to Hero: A Chance Encounter Changes Everything
Even before his first trip to the orthodontist, William had built several computers. Little did he know, this hobby would lead to a pivotal moment. During his appointment, the dentist, in a moment of exasperation, jokingly inquired if William knew anything about computers. His answer? A confident “yes!” What followed was an unexpected challenge – a malfunctioning panoramic x-ray machine that had stumped the dentist’s IT team for weeks. William, however, rose to the occasion, successfully diagnosing and fixing the network issue. This act of ingenuity not only earned him the dentist’s gratitude but also an invitation to join the practice as their in-house IT director.
A Seed is Planted: Building a Better Dental Experience
William’s success with the x-ray machine sparked a realization – technology could significantly improve the efficiency and patient experience in dental practices. He went on to upgrade the entire IT infrastructure, stabilizing workflows and laying the groundwork for a more streamlined operation. Word quickly spread, and William found himself introduced to other dentists eager to leverage his expertise.
From Solo Act to Trusted Partner: F1 iT Takes Off
While attending SUNY Stony Brook for Computer Engineering, juggling his newfound responsibilities as an in-demand IT consultant proved challenging. Thankfully, William’s talent caught the eye of another IT company who offered him a project manager position. For six years, William honed his skills, but the desire to directly impact patient care and escape corporate limitations grew stronger.
In 2012, F1 iT was born.
Driven by the Japanese concept of Kaizen (continuous improvement), William set out to create a dental-focused IT company that prioritized exceptional service and cutting-edge solutions. Since then, the F1 iT team has grown substantially, fueled by the same spirit of curiosity and a relentless pursuit of “better.” We believe that every day is an opportunity to learn, adapt, and empower dental practices with the tools they need to thrive.
F1 iT: Where Technology Meets Passionate Care
William’s story embodies the core values of F1 iT. We are passionate about technology, but our true purpose lies in its ability to transform dental care. By partnering with us, you gain access to a team fueled by a relentless pursuit of knowledge and a genuine desire to see your practice flourish.
