Client Testimonials: 

I have known John for several years. I have found him to be well versed in all phases of IT; he is pleasant, articulate, neat, and prompt. I have often left my home unattended with only John to "lock up" when leaving. John works very hard yet always has time for courtesy and a smile.

I would recommend John to the most discriminating clients.

This guy is crazy enough to love working out your computer problems and making your life a lot easier!  As his client, I can tell you that he is hard to live without and a joy to have around.  His low-key instructional attitude, work ethic and efficient, determined service style are refreshing to say the least.
