Who I Am
I’m Jared McCorkle, founder of The Bonfire LLC. My journey began far from technology — working as a first mate with SEATOW Charleston and later managing over 40+ fire restoration and construction projects with Classic Construction and other South Carolina contractors.
But I’ve always had a passion for computers. Through years of self‑teaching, trial, and error, I learned coding, networking, and server architecture. From building my own gaming and media servers to designing business hosting environments, I pushed myself to prove that determination and curiosity could build something greater.
Why I Started The Bonfire
I created The Bonfire to bring both worlds together:
-
Hands‑on contracting experience that ensures projects are built to last.
-
Technical expertise in hosting and networking that keeps businesses connected, fast, and secure.
What started as a personal challenge has grown into a company serving clients across Charleston and South Carolina, providing reliable IT and infrastructure solutions with a personal touch.
My Expertise
-
Networking & Hosting → Server setups, secure hosting, and IT operations.
-
Contracting & Infrastructure → Structured cabling, office installs, POS systems.
-
Problem Solving → From data recovery to system rebuilds, I thrive on tackling tough challenges.
A Client Success Story
When Global Connect Communications lost their website for more than five years due to negligence, they turned to me. I recovered their data, rebuilt their online presence, and migrated everything to my hosting platform — giving them modern uptime, faster load times, and restored client trust.
