Our Team

Farr

Farr Shepherd moved to Colorado after being recruited for a technical job after graduating from a Midwest University. Twenty years later Farr is continuing to pioneer technology services to improve the lives of the communities where he has spent so much time. After starting Decypher Technologies (recognized as Best IT firm in Colorado in 2020 & 2021) Farr was fed up with the other Internet Service Providers providing sub-par customer service and the poor quality of internet being delivered to locations off the beaten path. “You take for granted how much high-speed internet is a part of your life until you don’t have it.” Farr teamed up with long time business partner Ande Grillo, putting their know-how to work and started Pathfinder. “It has been very fulfilling to hear from our customers that we cared enough to bring service to locations that had been overlooked for years. Customers were telling us that for the first time in years, their entire family can spend more time in Colorado because they finally had true high speed internet and could now enjoy the same services that were only available in a developed neighborhood.”

Ande

Ande has spent his entire life in the Pathfinder service area. As a Colorado native Ande is no stranger to the challenges of living in Colorado. “ We feel that you shouldn’t have to sacrifice living in a beautiful area like ours with small town amenities for “big city” connectivity.” As a Specialist in Wireless and Fiber Optic installation with Decypher, Ande was a natural fit for Pathfinder. He leads the charge in building out new towers, new fiber plants, and pioneering ways to bring service to those suffering with inferior quality internet. “Its encouraging when we receive calls from people in the community who are checking in regularly to find out when Pathfinder service will be available in their neighborhood. We are working hard every day to find out how blaze a new path and shed some light on those who feel like they’re living on the dark side of the moon.”
