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 refugee
;-),
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.

 


Where:

I can provide assistance
  to you at either

  my home office on Ann
     Arbor's West Side  or

  at your Ann Arbor
     residence or
        place of business.

 

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

Local References
available upon request.


How can I be of service?
