I’ve been working with Apple systems for over 40 years (since 1982) and was recognized in 2015 as one of the top-ranked Apple engineers on Thumbtack. I’m a certified Apple Certified System Administrator (ACSA), which is the highest level of Apple IT certification. I have also completed certifications for:
Apple Certified Desktop Technician
Apple Certified Mac Technician
Apple Certified Portable Technician
Apple Xsan for Pro Video
Originally, I came from a law enforcement background and received certified forensic data recovery training through NASA, as well as additional forensics training accredited by the California Department of Justice. I’ve used these skills to recover data from countless drives, often for clients who believed their data was irrecoverable.
After transitioning from law enforcement, I specialized in creating Hollywood-class Apple editing systems for the film industry. I’ve provided solutions for clients worldwide, including The Walt Disney Company, ImageMovers Digital, the Goddard Space Flight Center, Honeywell, and the FBI. I was one of the first users to adopt 4K cameras from RED Digital Cinema (cameras #20 and #21) and have an extensive background in shooting across multiple camera platforms and formats.
Because of my work in the movie industry, I developed a deep marketing background. I’m extremely well-versed in social media marketing, Adobe Photoshop (for both editorial and digital restoration), Adobe Illustrator, and countless other digital tools. I currently serve as the full-time creative director for a California-based firm, where I rely on my digital art skills every day.
I love that no two projects are alike—there’s always a bit of mystery and discovery involved. Being able to deliver solutions that perfectly address each client’s unique challenges is incredibly rewarding. I look forward to talking with you about your specific needs and how we can solve them together.

I am very pleased with Torrey’s work. He arrived on time, was very polite and engaging. He is extremely knowledgeable and did explain everything that was going on with my computers. I had not used these computers in a very long time and had almost given up on them until he went them, isolated the issue(s) and repaired them all for a very reasonably price. I truly appreciate his work ethic and his professionalism. Thank you so very much. I am so glad to have my computers back.

I have used tech "support" services before, but most are PC/based. I needed someone with strong iOS knowledge, Apple hardware knowledge, and experience in video editing/burning hardware and software. Torrey exceeded all expectations. Additionally I had some long-standing issues with an installed mesh (bridge router) and a few other things; some involved hardware 10+ years old. Torrey's breadth of knowledge was impressive. Additionally, my Mac started showing that beach ball too often, and he shared known issues with Apple's fusion drive Might have to replace the 8-year old Mac. He was professional & courteous. I will call him again in the future.
