Computer Repair:
Software issues can usually be done onsite. Hardware
issues may be able to be done onsite, but if not, I can
bring it back to my home where I can work on it in a
safe and clean environment. I may not be able to fix
every problem, but I have had pretty good success!
Websites:
I can build your website, find, purchase and manage your domain
name, then host
it on my server, this way I can be a full service web
developer and make it as easy for you as I can. I
have many web trick up my sleeve from the 25 years I
have been building websites., and can have your website
be very dynamic and responsive. I can also build
you mobile app of your website, and I have the ability
to recognize each device that is being used to access
your website, and direct it to the proper content, all
while using one URL domain name. i.e.
www.your-webesite-name.com

E-Waste Recycling: I can recycle all your
devices for you, Computers, Tablets and Cell Phones.
How I like to do it is, securely erase you hard drive on
your computer, writing one's and zero's over it two
times, while erasing it completely. Or, I can pull
the hard drive out and give it to you so you have all
your data still on it and it is in your possession.
Then you can keep it, or destroy it how you see fit.
On tablets and cell phones, if the device turns on, then
I reset it to erase all the data on it before recycling
it. Old Modems and Routers I send to "E-Waste
Recycling" so they don't end up in the Landfill toxifying
our precious environment. Printers I also send to the
"E-Waste Recycling" only after removing the ink and
disposing of it properly to protect our environment.
I absolutely look forward to working with you. Thank You.
Just a little about me and my business: I grew up in
Silicon Valley since the early 60’s, and observed the crazy
computer boom in the 80’s, and the even crazier internet
boom in the late 90’s. Wow!!! My Father was an IBM’er
and my mother was an INTEL’er so I guess it was destiny
for me to get into computers. I started off as a
Carpenter and eventually became a General Contractor
doing Bathroom and Kitchen Remodels, but as fate would
have it... I pretty much blew out my back to the point I
just could not do construction anymore. So being in
Silicon Valley, I moved towards computers. I built my
first computer in 1998 working with Windows 95 and then
started learning Website Coding at the same time. Since
then, I have built or worked on hundreds of computers, I
moved up to Fort Bragg in 2013 to take care of my mother
which had Cancer 4 times, but unfortunately, she passed
away two weeks into the Covid-19 Lockdown. After the
dust settled from all of that, I landed back in the Bay
Area to get my IT Support Certificate. Then I moved back
here to Mendocino... to stay, and I decided to continue my
Computer Repair, Website Building, and Digital Archiving here, because I
really do love
it here. it's absolutely a little slice of paradise! And
a place I now officially call home.
