About
Having worked with everyday people for years, I have learned how to not only help them but make them comfortable with their technology. I have been working in technology tutoring and consulting for almost a decade, from working with beginners to experts, from teaching children to seniors. I'm often available same day!
I love helping people get the most out of their technology. The feeling of joy they get when they actually enjoy using their devices and their technology works for them rather than against them, is amazing.

Michael was incredible; I called him this morning, and we were on the phone working on the issue the same day. He is efficient and resolved the issue quickly. Huge relief to work with someone so capable.

I recently made the switch from PC to Mac after 20 years, and with my new real estate business, I knew I needed to set myself up for success with efficient systems and shortcuts. Apple Mike was the perfect partner to help me transition smoothly. He not only helped me optimize my workflow but also guided me in organizing my personal tech setup, like password management and home organization. He’s timely, courteous, and truly knows his stuff. I highly recommend Apple Mike to anyone looking to make the switch or streamline their tech setup!

AppleMike is an unsurpassed resource-accessible, intuitive, insightful, generous with his time and knowledge and so smart about everything Apple. There was no hesitation in Mike getting to understand my needs, establishing and continually adjusting our list of priorities and creating reminders to keep us focused on anticipated and often surprising challenges. He is patient and persistent about always coming up with solutions. His commitment to creating and maintaining a mutually supportive relationship is unsurpassed. There have been no awkward or stressful moments in getting to know one another, figuring out how to best work together and optimizing our time together.

FAQs
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
The best way to start together, is to have a list prepared of all the technology items that are causing you trouble. In addition, it is a great idea to have a list of items/skills you’d like to add to your technology tool belt. I always love to sit down with clients in our first session and write down a list of all their aspirations so we make sure to not only cover all of them, but to do so in the easiest and most efficient way.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
In addition to numerous courses at Rutgers University, I have worked as a corporate trainer for Apple for 3 years. I have also held multiple IT and computer training positions over the years.
What types of customers have you worked with?
Over the last decade I’ve had the opportunity to work with clients from 7-95 years old. I specialize in working with those who are 50+, as they appreciate the patience and understanding I have for the way in which they learn best.
