Is your computer slow, outdated, or driving you crazy? Do you stare at a new tablet or smart speaker and wonder where to even start? My name is Chad and I can help.
I provide clear, jargon-free tech support for everyday people. Whether you are a retiree trying to video call the grandkids, a parent setting up a home network, or anyone who just wants their technology to work without the headache, I am here to make it simple.
What I Do
Linux Installations and Migrations
I specialize in installing Linux on older computers, turning slow, dusty machines into fast, secure, and usable systems again. Linux is not complicated like you imagine. In many ways, it's actually more user friendly than Windows these days. It's also free, lightweight, and does not bombard you with subscription fees, bloatware, or endless forced updates. If you are tired of paying the Microsoft tax for features you do not need, I will show you a better way.
Home Network Setup
Stop renting that terrible modem and router combo from your cable company. I will help you choose and set up your own equipment, configure your Wi-Fi, and get every room in your house connected properly. Faster speeds, better coverage, no more buffering.
Smart Device and Tablet Help
New iPad, Android tablet, smart speaker, or phone? I will set it up with you and walk you through how to actually use it, step by step, until you feel confident doing it on your own.
Tech Training
I do not just fix things and leave. I teach you how it works in plain English so you are not calling me every week for the same problem.
Purchasing Advice & Consultation
Thinking about buying a new computer, tablet, or other gadget? Talk to me before you spend your money. I will help you figure out what you actually need so you do not overpay for features you will never use.
Completely Confidential Virus Removal (Windows, Mac & Linux).
No questions asked. No need to be embarrassed if your computer has been hijacked for any reason. I am a major privacy advocate and I will respect yours.
A Note About Windows
My specialty is Linux, and that is where I do my best work. I strongly prefer working on non-Windows machines. I can help with Windows if you truly need it, but honestly, my recommendation for most people is to move away from it entirely. Linux is faster, more secure, more private, and it is free. No subscriptions, no mystery updates that restart your computer in the middle of what you are doing. If you are open to making the switch, I will handle the entire process and teach you everything you need to know.
Why Me
I focus on privacy and security. I will never recommend products or services designed to harvest your data or lock you into monthly fees. No subscriptions, no upsells, no nonsense. Just honest help from someone who genuinely wants your technology to work for you, not against you.
