Why I do this

This is the part of my day I look forward to.

Every weekday I go to work in IT like a lot of folks around here. I've done it for six years. Along the way I've built computers, repaired phones, run network cable and hung more TVs than I can count.

Every family has that one person they call when the Wi-Fi drops, the printer quits or a pop-up says the computer is "infected." I've been that person for my own people for years, and honestly, it's my favorite part of the day.

So when 5 o'clock hits and most people clock out, I clock in for my neighbors.

No call centers. No upselling you a new laptop you don't need. Just someone from the Northshore who shows up, explains things in plain English, tells you the price before he starts, and leaves your tech working the way it should.

If it's something I can't fix, I'll tell you straight and point you to someone who can.

How it works

1

Call or text

Tell me what's going on. A photo of the error message helps.

2

Get a flat price

You'll know the price before I start. No surprises on the bill.

3

I come to you

Weekday evenings or weekends, at your kitchen table. I'll give you your visit code at the door.

Scam-proof visits

How to know it's really me

Scammers can fake a phone number or a name. They can't fake a code that only you and I know.

1
I text you a visit code

After I confirm your booking, I text you a one-time code like PELICAN-417. Only you and I will know it.

2
I say it at the door

Before I come in, I'll tell you your code. If I forget, ask me for it.

3
No match, no entry

If someone says they're me and can't give your code, keep the door closed and text me at (504) 450-0585.

I will never call or text you out of the blue asking to get into your computer, or ask you to pay with gift cards, crypto or wire transfers.
