About
My experience working with hundreds of customers over the last few years has taught me that above all else, I have the patience to help each customer truly understand how to use their new device or to solve their problem. That change from frustration to relief is why I do what I do.

Hired on Thumbtack
I suffered a stroke 5 years ago and I have cognitave impairment. Dave very carefully explained the issues I was experiencing with my computer. He helped me purchase and set up a new printer for me and he worked out some minor "kinks" in the new printer. He is my new computer guru. My old teck talked computer jumbo to me and made me feel like an idiot! Not a good feeling!!

Dave took the information which I supplied and accurately addressed my problem. While he was not in a position to help me (because of distance) he was able to put me in contact with someone in my area who could and did help. He was instrumental in providing a solution for my computer issue.

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
A typical job, whether it's training, troubleshooting, or setup of new devices, will be 1-2 hours in length. Flat rate prices are available for any job where billing by the hour is uneconomical or just doesn't make sense. I'm happy to set up "retainer" pricing for any situation where lots of follow-up calls or visits may be needed or advisable. 😃
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
The first step is having a conversation to make sure I have a full understanding of what you wish to accomplish. Then we set an appointment and I can give you an estimate of how much time I think the job will require. Some situations may be more complicated or involve multiple appointments, but the general idea is to accomplish everything on your list by the end of the appointment. Phone support after the appointment is complimentary.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I am a former Apple employee, and I am certified in their productivity and creative softwares. I have managed sales departments and repair departments for computer retail stores dealing with Windows and Apple PCs as well as tablets and smartphones. I have learned how to eliminate the "geekspeak" that makes understanding technology so difficult sometimes, and I love to find solutions for people that make their lives less stressful.
