Erik was fantastic. He worked for almost an hour trying to figure problem out with my printer. He was going to take it with him to continue trying to figure it out. At the last second he found the issue where paper had jammed and was able to remove it. I would definitely call him any time I have a problem and will be giving his info to my friends. This was paper he found jammed in a very unusual spot and not a place any trouble shooting suggested looking at. I was VERY impressed.

Erik responded to my message within 10 minutes, showed up 15 minutes later and fixed my printer issue! Then he set up the wireless, showing us both how to print from our phones! Amazing! Very reasonable cost and a great guy! Thanks again.

Erik got here when he said he was coming. Got right to work on fixing my problem. Got my issues resolved quickly and offered me another helpful service that I didn't even request. It's a comfort to know that I have someone I can rely on to fix my technical issues in the future. I highly recommend him.

I have flat rates for specific services. In the end, I'm usually more affordable than the big guys. I also won't upsell you.

Tell me your problem and then we can work on a solution! Email/phone/text to start. Happy to come in person if you need onsite support in the Socal area.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have over a decade of experience tinkering and fixing computers, smartphones, networking equipment, streaming devices, televisions, Windows/iOS problems, etc. I'm also equipped to do data backup/recovery, anti-virus/malware scan and removal.
