Built on Heart, Fueled by Vision: Celebrating Tim Elliott and the Road Ahead

At Standley, we believe the best stories are the ones that start with heart. And if you've been around here for more than five minutes, you know Tim Elliott’s story is woven into every part of who we are. 

We’ve always believed that success isn’t just about technology—it’s about people. It’s about vision, grit, and staying true to your roots. And no one embodies that better than Tim Elliott. 

This season, we’re pausing to celebrate a man who didn’t just lead Standley—he helped shape it into the company we’re proud to be today. From his forward-thinking mindset to his everyday acts of servant leadership, Tim’s legacy is one of hard work, heart, and an unwavering commitment to doing things the right way. 

From day one, Tim has led with a rare kind of clarity. He didn’t just see what Standley could be—he saw who we could become. Whether it was investing in innovative business technology before it was cool or sitting down with team members to ask how their families were doing, Tim never lost sight of the big picture or the small moments. 

He stepped into leadership at a pivotal time and never looked back. Through the decades, he’s navigated challenges, embraced change, and helped transform Standley into a statewide leader in office technology and IT services. 

One of Tim’s most enduring beliefs is in the power of legendary relationships. He often says, “We treat and provide the same quality of service to each and every client—no matter the size—the way you would your very best friend.” That mindset has shaped the way Standley serves, builds trust, and keeps relationships at the center of everything we do. 

But it wasn’t just about growth. For Tim, it was always about people—the team, the customers, the relationships. Whether he was making big decisions or cooking his world-famous chili in the breakroom, he led with integrity, humility, and vision. 

The future at Standley is bright—and it’s personal. In a world where tech changes fast and trust is hard-earned, Standley is doubling down on both. With Greg, Blake, and Ethan at the helm, we’re leaning into innovation like never before—but always staying grounded in what got us here: faith, family, and a people first mindset. 

Tim, thank you for being part of the blueprint.  

Here’s to legacy, leadership, and the road ahead. We're just getting started.
