Consulting
Need to buy a new Mac or iPhone or even a TV etc?
Buy the right machine for your needs. Most devices are no longer upgradeable, so it is important to get the right configuration with future expansion in mind.
Installation
Just got some new equipment?
I help with migrating your data from your old system and properly configure your new setup.
Training
How do you do that?
I train you on how to develop a workflow, accomplish your tech goals and to do it all with confidence, knowing your data is safe.
Troubleshooting
What just happened?
Devices break, data gets lost, Apps don’t work and you don’t want to spend precious hours trying to solve problems. Call me. I love troubleshooting.
90% of all problems can be solved remotely
Over the phone and via remote screen sharing?
I help with 90% of most technical issues via remote screen sharing and talking to you over the phone. Most issues facing users today are not hardware failures. Most suffer from poorly configured systems and decades of adding data, services, apps, logins, accounts, drives, phones, emails, messages, multiple computers etc. Data is fragmented, disorganized, even seemingly lost.
I can help you clean it up. There is no magic here. Just years of experience on what Mac users commonly struggle with.
