“My goal as a computer technician, adviser and educator remains consistent:

To provide the proper care, advice and knowledge to the given situation, be it a computer virus removal, an important purchase decision, or a confusing question. I also strive to do so in a supportive manner, clarifying whatever questions you may have and evaluating any changes that may be needed.

As a computer service provider, my biggest concern is for your satisfaction, be it in my skills, advice or teachings. The best compliment I can ever receive is your satisfaction, trust, and referrals. I sincerely enjoy helping others however I can; It’s what makes me tick!

I’m confident in my skills, as well as honest about my abilities. If I ever feel that you may be better serviced by someone else, I’ll be the first to admit it, likely dipping into my network of contacts that cover many aspects and trades.

I’m constantly on the quest for knowledge and strive to remain informed with changes and advances in my industry.”

Kate L Williams, of Social Biz Local Biz

“I initially hired Adrian to repair a very damaged laptop, which he was able to do quickly, efficiently and for much less than I had anticipated. I then arranged for him to come to the Assisted Living community that I manage to provide tech support for our senior residents. They were all very pleased with his ability to instruct them to use their equipment more efficiently and the patience he showed while assisting them. I would use Adrian again for all my IT needs in the future.”

Tracy Willis, Executive Director Executive Director at Village Concepts, Inc.

“Adrian is a very intellectual, professional and hardworking troubleshooter. Will go the extra mile, and will spend time with the customer until the job is done, or the customer is 110% happy with the work that was done. While I worked with Adrian, there were numerous occasions where we worked with customer issues in early morning or late afternoons to fix any issue that we needed. Adrian is a stellar colleague and I would work with him on any occasion.”

Zane Meadows

“Adrian has a tremendous level of technical expertise. Combined with his resourcefulness, I continue to be amazed at his abilities. In my view, he has a unique ability to understand the workings of a wide range of technologies, and seemingly also to find ways to integrate them, even if they were not designed to do so!

He has a refreshing enthusiasm about him, and is all around well natured. I would trust Adrian to protect all of my personal information and data.”

Lennart Bentsen, General Manager, Hampton Inn & Suites

We have used him since and recommend him to everyone who needs his services.”

Todd Hanson of Signmart L.L.C
