ATP Presents the Metroport Chamber Foundation's First Clay Shoot

ATP is a managed IT services and cybersecurity firm headquartered at 1415 Cannon Pkwy in Roanoke, Texas, supporting 135+ businesses across the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex since 2001. The Metroport Chamber serves the communities where many of the businesses we support and our own team live and work, so a first-year Foundation event was one we wanted to help get off the ground.

A first year worth showing up for

Inaugural events carry a particular kind of risk. Nobody knows the format yet, turnout is a guess, and the organizers are building everything for the first time. They work when local businesses commit early and show up.

The day delivered what the Foundation promised: sporting clays, friendly competition between teams, a good meal, and a gun raffle that kept people around the pavilion long after their round. BKV joined as registration sponsor, and the course at Northlake Shooting Sports gave the event plenty of room.

Our booth was run by Caleb Plumlee and Bryant Kimberlin from the ATP team, with Joe Craven, Partner and Vice President, and Brian Davis, Founder and President, on hand throughout the morning.

Why a Roanoke IT firm shows up for community events

Most of what we do happens out of sight: monitoring, patching, security, and the technology planning conversations that keep a business from being surprised by its own technology. That work depends on trust, and trust is built in person far more often than it is built online.

A morning on a clay course is one of the few settings where a business owner, a banker, a contractor, and an IT provider can talk without an agenda. Those conversations are where we learn what is actually slowing local businesses down. The answer is rarely technology first. It is usually people and process, and technology either supports them or gets in the way.

It also continues a pattern. In 2025 we sponsored the NTRCA Clay Shoot for North Texas roofing contractors, and Brian serves on the Metroport Chamber board. Showing up in the community we serve is part of how we do the work, not a separate activity.

Thank you

Thank you to the Metroport Chamber Foundation for building this event from scratch, to BKV and every team that registered, and to the staff at Northlake Shooting Sports. Congratulations to the winning team. We are already looking forward to year two.
