Experienced Assistance to you and your Apple devices     

I think of myself as a Mac Coach, rather than a 'computer consultant'...

my goal is to have you be delighted, and myself unnecessary.

Greetings

My name's Nicholas and I've lived here in Ann Arbor since 1995. 

A Silicon Valley expatriate ;-),  I did years of telephone tech support working for Apple/Claris in California.

Helping Mac-using folks and businesses in many ways since 1986, I find no Mac too old (or too new!) to help you with.

When: Mon- Fri 9 — 6 and evenings / weekends when needed

Where: I can provide help to you at either: 

  • Your Ann Arbor residence or place of business      or
  • My home office on A2’s West Side. 

My rates are reasonable
and negotiable
(Senior discount available.)
