What do I do?
I repair, upgrade and configure computers so they operate efficiently and are easy to use. Technology should make life easier, well that’s the general idea in my opinion. Helping people with their issues is what I do best. If I can’t fix something, I will know what to do and will be honest and straight forward.
Mobile phones and gadgets are also a specialty of mine, these items are becoming integrated into our lives at such a fast pace that often we aren’t aware of most capabilities they deliver. If you need to find out more about how to use a new phone or any piece of electronic equipment, give me a yell.
As a man of many talents who is good with his hands, I also do odd jobs. The term “Odd” can be anything, there are times where you may need a shelf fixed, a stereo, TV set up or even just help with learning how to use things. I’m always here and my time is up for grabs…
