My expertise is in configuration, administration and troubleshooting computer hardware and software.
I work with both Macintosh and Windows environments. I am proficient in computer upgrades, maintenance and repair.
I'm mechanically inclined and not afraid to take on assembly or installation of just about anything related to computers, radios or general electronics, including networking equipment, audio/visual hardware, transmitting and receiving equipment and antenna hardware. With the right tools and accurate knowledge, there is nothing I won't try.
Office Hours
Monday through Friday 7:30am to 4:30pm.
My lunch hour varies depending on my current projects and workload.
