Meet Your Tech Expert
22+ Years Helping Real People With Technology
Patient, judgment-free guidance from someone who actually speaks plain English.
From Turtle Computer Works to MyGeekMac
I started helping people with computers in 2002 under the name Turtle Computer Works. Back then, "tech support" meant showing up with a bag of cables and a lot of patience.
Over two decades, the technology changed dramatically. The patience? That stayed exactly the same.
Today I serve Idyllwild, Pine Cove, Mountain Center, Hemet, San Jacinto, Anza, San Diego, and clients nationwide via remote support. Whether you need help with your Mac, your PC, or understanding what AI can actually do for you — I'm here to help in plain English.
What I Do Differently
Most tech people talk over your head. I translate tech into plain English and teach at the pace humans learn. No jargon, no judgment — just patient guidance that actually sticks.
My NSCC training taught me that if a student doesn't understand, that's the instructor's problem to solve — not the student's fault. I bring that same approach to every tech session.

Community Roots
I live in Idyllwild, California — a small mountain community where neighbors still wave at each other. I believe in the power of local community, the importance of patience, and the value of doing things right.
As a Division Officer in the U.S. Naval Sea Cadet Corps, I train young leaders in discipline, communication, and character. Those same values — Honor, Respect, Commitment — shape how I approach every technology session.
