Mature Geek 

I was a geek long before "GEEK" became a job description. I was born to be a geek. I've always had a fascination for all things electronic. As a kid in the 1970's, I hung out at my local Radio Shack instead of the arcade. I was there the very day when the store manger unpacked and setup the first TRS-80 computer back in 1977. It was love at first-sight!

In 1981, in high school, I helped build a Sinclair ZX81 kit computer in electronics class. I got my first computer, a Commodore 64 with color monitor and a floppy drive, in 1983. My first (non-family business) part-time job was working on a Burroughs A/R - A/P - Payroll system for a real estate developer.

Of course I studied computers In college. But after a while I became concerned that I was learning on outdated computers like a gigantic DEC VAX-11/780 that took up an entire 50x30 foot room.

The PC-Age had arrived and I wanted in on it!

In the late 1980's I got my chance. I teamed up with an old high school friend and others to create a pioneering online real estate information service. This was accomplished by taking  data from old 9-track tapes and converting it form EBCDIC to ASCII. I was in Geek Heaven. I built and programmed multi-user online database systems using DOS based Intel 386 and 486 EISA bus PCs running eSoft TBBS / TDBS software controlling Digiboard mulit-port serial cards connected to racks of 2400 baud US Robotics modems plugged into banks of roll-over telephone lines. This was a major accomplishment at a point in time when almost all this type of business was hosted on large and expensive mainframes and minicomputers like the IBM AS/400. Keep in mind this was also at time when most people hadn't even heard of a modem yet.

So what's all this geek-speak got do to with you? - It's impossible to grow a successful online service unless it STAYS ONLINE. My philosophy was, and always will be, to put in the effort required to make things work reliably. In addition, an essential part of selling this online service was getting it to work on end-user's computers. That meant doing whatever it took to get end-user's computers functioning correctly. For over a decade I have successfully trouble-shot and repaired hundreds upon hundreds of computers.

For the last twelve years, I've been dedicated to helping folks setup, protect, repair, and get the most out of their computers, laptops, networks, applications, and data. I would genuinely appreciate the opportunity to earn your business.
