aka: Digital Handyman

I have been raised on technology from playing Lemonade Stand on the family Apple IIc Plus (circa 1988 – I was in Second grade) to building a crystal radio and beyond.

Modeled on the personal financial advisor, the personal technologist navigates the muddied waters of technology to take the pain out of technology and make the gadgets work for you.

I offer an on-site service that is fast and convenient! By coming to you, I save you the hassle of taking your product to the shop. In most cases, I will have you up and running the same day.

Who Needs a Personal Technologist?

 

If any of these symptoms sound familiar,
I recommend considering a session with a personal technologist.

  • Overwhelmed by the flood of information.
  • Anxious about what you don’t know.
  • Frustrated by gadgets that don’t work.
  • Keep meaning to figure how to get that thing to work properly, if only you had the time.
  • Caught yourself saying, ‘It can’t be this hard to…’
  • I don’t want to attempt to call a customer service line.

These are the reasons that drove me to help people with the technical overload.
