Client Comments
Within a period of 10 days my home-based PC took a gasp and died. My former GEEK company referred me to Craig, whose knowledge, maturity, sure-footedness, and easy humor quickly put me back on the road in a sane direction. He diagnosed the issue, counseled me on options, was on the phone with me as I shopped for a new computer, sought to find modem guidance from a muddled service provider, and as I gave up on the company's competence, moving off my own. Then, within days, my internet service died. Craig arrived within an hour to diagnose the problem, and found confirmation on the phone when the loser company acknowledged a 30+ hour DSL outage. Within all of this my auto's AC crashed. Craig drove me home and drove me back to the auto servicer. I feel that I found a friend in him: he gave me great comfort as I felt ambushed on several fronts. He fixed or helped to fix every problem. I recommend him to all who confront "technology,frustration, and remediation," or more.
