Kenny Hopkins

Kenny runs Silver Bullet Web Solutions, a small shop in North Central Texas that builds websites, writes web programs, sets up databases, and handles social media and digital marketing for small businesses and nonprofits.

He's been in tech since 1998. For his first 15 years he worked in Corporate America as a software engineer, building software and web projects for companies like Hilton, La Quinta, Extended Stay, Reed Elsevier and Century 21.

In 2013 he and his wife Julie moved back to Texas to be closer to family and raise their two girls, settling in Bowie, the small town where Julie grew up. That same year Kenny bought Silver Bullet Web Solutions from David Dyer.

Back then Silver Bullet was mostly a computer repair shop that also built websites. Kenny added cell phone repair, and from 2016 to 2020 the crew installed internet and kept networks running for Comcell, a local internet provider. They built and ran Comcell's website too, from 2019 until 2023, when Comcell moved its marketing to a bigger ad agency.

In 2019 Kenny sold the repair shop to Ronnie DeMoss, who renamed it Reboot Tech Repair, and it's still in downtown Bowie today. Then in 2020 Kenny caught COVID, and caught it bad. When he got back on his feet, he shut down the Comcell work, and he and Marcus stuck to the jobs you can do from a chair at a computer. That's the Silver Bullet you'll find today: websites, search, social media and marketing for small businesses and nonprofits, done the way he learned to do them for the big companies, just for people he can shake hands with.

Outside the office, Kenny and Julie both stay busy in the Bowie Chamber of Commerce. Kenny served on the Chamber board from 2017 to 2021, and Julie serves on it today. Kenny also sits on the board of Montague Animal Rescue, helping find forever homes for rescue animals around Montague County.
