our story
HOW WE GOT STARTED
Some of the best businesses start around a kitchen table with a simple question:
"What if we could do this better?"
For Glenda Anzualda and Paul Mann, that conversation happened in 2004. But their story really begins in the 1990s, working alongside each of their parents in the IT industry. Both grew up in families where handshake agreements mattered, where you showed up when someone needed help, and where your reputation was everything.
Before founding Lone Cypress Technology, Glenda and Paul were already working side by side in the Information Technology and Audio Visual firm their fathers built together. Glenda sharpened her skills in administrative leadership and client service, while Paul rose through the ranks of IT support over two decades. What they carried forward went beyond technical ability. In Texas, your word is your bond, and showing up for your community comes with the territory.
When they co-founded RRGP Services in 2004 with just four employees, they brought decades of combined experience and a shared vision: build an IT company that felt less like a vendor and more like a trusted neighbor. The kind of partner who answers the phone, knows your name, and genuinely cares whether your business succeeds.
We’ve had a few changes since then, and today, as Lone Cypress Technology, we serve San Antonio businesses with a dedicated team of professionals. We've evolved our services and embraced new technologies, but we've never lost sight of those family values that started it all.
We believe that when you take care of your people, they take care of your clients.
And when you take care of your clients, you build something that lasts, something you can be proud to pass down to the next generation.
Our VISION
Being Unwavering with Every Aspect of our Business
Our Purpose
Solve Problems, Support People
Our Mission
Deliver reliable IT solutions that drive innovation and improve performance for our clients and team, while never losing sight of our "Why."
Our Why
To create an enriching and productive environment where employees proactively care for clients, the business, and themselves.
OUR CORE VALUES
In Texas, your word is your bond.
These aren't just corporate talking points for us; they're the principles we live by, the
standards we hold ourselves to, and the promise we make to every client and team member.
✔ Resilience Through Grit
We embrace the chaos, staying calm under pressure and persistent through lean times because we know grit is what separates those who survive from those who thrive.
✔ Legacy & Loyalty
We honor our roots as legacy entrepreneurs by treating our clients' businesses with the same long-term respect we bring to our own, backed by 30 years of unwavering commitment to each other, our team, and our community.
✔ Faith-Anchored Conviction
We live by the Golden Rule, doing the right thing when no one is watching and acting for the highest good of our clients, all while staying anchored in our moral compass and deeply respecting the diverse beliefs of those we work with.
From a Few to Many
When Glenda and Paul started as RRGP Services in 2004, San Antonio's business landscape was changing rapidly. Technology was becoming essential, not optional. But too many IT companies treated their clients like ticket numbers instead of partners.
We took a different path. Drawing on the relationship-first approach both learned from their parents' respective businesses, we grew from three employees in 2004 to over eighty team members by 2014. Each person we brought on board shared our commitment to service excellence and community values.
Earning Our Reputation
Culture is not something we talk about and forget. We are actively building a workplace rooted in respect, opportunity, and genuine care for the people on our team. Giving back to our community is a core part of that vision, and it is something we are committed to expanding as we grow. We measure success by more than revenue. We measure it by the strength of our client relationships, the businesses we have helped move forward, and the careers we have helped build from within.
Looking Ahead
As we look to the future, our vision focuses on four pillars:
✔ Team Unification
Great technology depends on every component doing its job. Our team works the same way. Each person brings something essential to the table, and our collective effort is what drives consistent, reliable results for our clients.
✔ Client Engagement
We're not just an IT service provider. We're a trusted partner in your business. We work with companies that understand the value of their technology infrastructure and its role in success.
✔ Operational Maturity
We effectively serve our clientele using state-of-the-art tools combined with best practices and policies. Our staff has the latest tools and devices, enabling us to troubleshoot and resolve issues collectively.
✔ Proven Results
Our foundational approach drives everything we do, from how we serve our clients to how we invest in our community. As we continue to grow, we remain committed to giving back and building a workplace our team is proud to be part of.
The Next Generation…
The business our fathers built together showed us early on that real success goes beyond the bottom line.
It's about building something that matters, something that serves your community, something you can be proud of. As we continue to grow as Lone Cypress Technology, we're not just building a company; we're building a legacy.
We're looking for clients who value long-term partnerships over quick transactions, who believe their technology should work as hard as they do, and who want an IT partner that understands Texas values: integrity, reliability, and doing right by people.
Whether you're a third-generation family business or a fast-growing startup, if you believe in building something that lasts, we'd be honored to be part of your journey.
