Leadership
Torch Ignited is led by Kevin Farnsworth, whose lifelong passion for technology began with writing his first computer program at the age of nine.
That passion led to him becoming Manager of Solutions Architecture at the Orange County Clerk of Courts, where he led the AI-driven redaction of more than 50 million documents.
This background, combined with decades of working alongside small and medium businesses, drives a people-first approach to AI adoption rooted in integrity, responsibility, and long-term success.
Built on the Torch Designs Legacy
Founded in 2008
Torch Ignited is a subsidiary of Torch Designs, a technology and digital services company that has partnered with small and medium businesses for more than 17 years.
During that time, Torch Designs has helped organizations adopt new technologies, improve efficiency, and grow sustainably across industries. Those same values — trust, accountability, and long-term partnership — form the foundation of Torch Ignited.
Torch Ignited carries that legacy forward, applying proven experience and disciplined execution to the next generation of business technology: AI.
