Meet The Master
IT Ninja
For over twenty years, Affinity has been serving the technology needs of the Northern and Central Michigan communities with unrivaled services and support. Led by Ben Blissett, our team is all about providing cost-effective, high-quality technical solutions with ninja-fast response, a personal touch, and a friendly attitude.
Who is this shiny chrome dome everyone trusts with their IT stuff? Well, that's me! With over 25 years’ experience in IT support—everything from computer repair to network engineering to technical writing to web development—I took the leap in 2005 to take a shot at my own thing. My goal has always been to make technology understandable (and even enjoyable) for clients, becoming the definition of “comfortable catalyst” and demonstrating an affinity for technology and the end user.
It's not just about me, though! It's about the amazing team that makes Affinity what it is. We're a group of honest, compassionate, hard-working, detail-oriented folks who genuinely care about getting it right and helping clients succeed. They don’t call us the Friendly IT Ninjas for nothing!
Affinity provides reliable, compliance-focused IT services to over 200 small businesses across the great State of Michigan, specializing in healthcare technology management and integration, network and cyber security, continuing education, and top-notch tech support. Our expertise ensures compliance with standards like those outlined by the HIPAA rules. If you've been referred to us, you've probably heard that I'm the guy who does things differently; ask around or give us a call and you'll see why!
Cheers!
Ben

What is an IT Ninja?
We are your business's best line of IT defense.
You've heard every IT provider claim they're "different" or "distinctive." But the truth is that most are just bursting at the seams with meaningless tech jargon and an inflated sense of superiority. You don't need that. You need the IT Ninjas.
An IT Ninja doesn't follow the usual script. We think outside the box, find smarter solutions, and handle multiple problems at once. We're highly responsive—because a down system can't wait for the next business day. We're always there to put out fires, follow up, and keep you in the loop.
At Affinity, we're not just another IT company. We understand your frustration with technology—how it was supposed to make life easier but really has just complicated it. We help you stay secure with guidance from CISA's cybersecurity best practices and our security solutions.
And unlike the typical "tech geeks," we're friendly, approachable, and a pleasure to work with. We're your best line of IT defense—both in plain sight and in the shadows.
