About

Need a real tech guru? You've found "The Computer Answer Guy" (no kidding; I did a radio program and was a commentator on CBS TV under that name for years!) Not only that, but I've been building furniture and tackling do-it-yourself stuff for ... well, for longer than some of my clients have been alive! I'm a perfectionist, and reliable in every way. Let me prove it to you!

Great service! I’m so happy that Jeff was available to come over my apartment the next day, on a Sunday! and work on my computer that I was unable to restart and where I had plenty of files that I hadn’t backed up for a while. He retrieved and saved all my files and reinstalled Windows. I’m so pleased that I didn’t lose all that valuable information! I will definitely contact Jeff again if needed and refer him to my friends.

Details: PC • Laptop • System error or blue screen • My home, venue, etc.

We were unable to fix the computer problem, but it was a very unique situation involving an old program and I had the sense that if he couldn't fix it nobody could. In working with him I could tell he is very knowledgeable and will contact him again for future

Details: PC • Laptop • Troubleshooting needed to determine issue • Remotely (phone or internet) • At the pro’s location
