About our Team

History has been made and the foundation of infopackets is already well established. But who are the faces behind infopackets? Together, each member of our team contribute with their unique talent that help make infopackets what it is today.

Dennis Faas

Dennis is the owner and CEO of Infopackets, Inc. | Computer 411. Dennis began his digital journey into the computing evolution as early as 1981 -- when he was just 6 years young. From that point on, Dennis was passionate about computers and learning all things technical. At age 24, he was awarded a Bachelors degree in Computer Science from the University of Windsor, Ontario. With plenty of computing experience under his belt and a piece of paper to prove it, Dennis decreed his entrepreneurial life-long dream of becoming his own boss. Soon after, Dennis met up with a local man who needed expertise in automating his own home-based computer business online the Internet ... and the rest, as they say, is history.
