About Us
Our History
Pragmatic Business Solutions, LLC was founded in June 2025 by Johnny Gonzalez, a proud U.S. Army veteran. After completing his military service, Johnny returned home and began working with Precinct 4 of Hidalgo County — where he quickly noticed that critical systems and workflows were being managed by emails, Google spreadsheets, and Excel. There were no digital systems in place to handle essential operations like tracking assets, managing inventory, logging fuel usage, coordinating projects, or reserving vehicles.
Using his problem-solving skills and operational background, Johnny designed and built those systems from the ground up — creating customized applications that brought structure, visibility, and automation to the precinct’s daily operations. It was during this hands-on work that the idea for Pragmatic Business Solutions was born. Seeing how much these tools improved communication, accountability, and efficiency, Johnny realized there was a real need for custom business applications throughout the Rio Grande Valley — especially in local government, education, healthcare, and small business sectors.
Today, Pragmatic Business Solutions, LLC is focused on delivering practical, effective, and community-driven technology to organizations across South Texas. As a veteran-owned, RGV-based company, we approach every project with discipline, service, and a deep respect for the people who keep our communities moving.
Our Mission & Values
Our mission is straightforward: empower Rio Grande Valley organizations through tailor-made technology solutions. The RGV has been called “one of the fastest growing regions in the country” by dallasfed.org, and we’re here to ensure that our community’s growth is supported by modern, efficient tools. We know that when local businesses and public services thrive, our whole community benefits. As a veteran-owned business, we carry forward a strong set of values from military life into our company culture:
- Integrity & Transparency: We operate honestly and openly. If something isn’t in your best interest, we won’t push it. Trust is the foundation of our client relationships.
- Service & Commitment: “Service before self” is more than a saying for us – it’s how we do business. We are deeply committed to our clients and will go the extra mile to meet your needs. When you work with us, you’re not just a customer – you’re a partner.
- Community Focus: We live and work in the Rio Grande Valley, so we understand local challenges and opportunities. We actively seek to give back and build up our community, whether through our services or volunteering in local initiatives.
- Pragmatism & Innovation: True to our name, we champion practical solutions. We leverage the latest technologies when they make sense, but we never adopt tech for tech’s sake. Our goal is to implement effective solutions that deliver results, even if that means a simple approach over a complex one.
