Why We Chose the Name Elm Lane 

The name Elm Lane is deeply personal. It comes from Meredith’s family history—her grandfather served as the postmaster in a small town in southern Ohio and also ran the family farm, which was known simply as Elm Lane. That farm represented more than land—it stood for integrity, community, and hard, honest work.

When we founded Elm Lane, we knew we wanted our name to reflect those same values. We chose it to honor our roots and to carry forward a legacy built on faith, service, and perseverance.

After years of being trained in corporate America on some of the most effective discovery and design thinking methodologies, we took time to pray and reflect on what was next. It became clear that our purpose lies in using that experience—both with people and technology—to help businesses navigate the increasingly complex world of modern technology solutions.

At Elm Lane, we’re proud to represent a wide and carefully curated portfolio of technology vendors. That breadth means we’re not here to push one product—we’re here to find the right solution for your business, every time.

The days of chasing vendor reps, reintroducing your business over and over again due to constant turnover, are over. As your Technology Advisor, Elm Lane becomes your consistent, strategic partner—focused solely on your success.

We believe in serving others, leading with heart, and making a tangible impact through technology. It’s an exciting new chapter, and we’re grateful for the opportunity to walk alongside you.
Let’s build something lasting—together.
