What I can help with
From a brand-new computer to a problem that's been driving you crazy for weeks, I provide practical help for home users and small businesses.
New computer setup, software installation, updates, peripherals and getting everything ready to use.
Slow computers, crashes, strange errors, Windows problems and those “it was working yesterday” situations.
Move your files, documents, photos and other important data from an old computer to a new one.
Wi-Fi setup and troubleshooting, routers, home networks, printers and getting your devices connected properly.
Account setup, Outlook problems, authentication issues and getting email working reliably again.
Help recovering important files from failing drives, damaged installations and other data-loss situations. Recovery results depend on the condition of the device and the data.
Practical help with device security, updates, backups and protecting the things that matter.
Not sure what's wrong? That's okay. Tell me what's happening and we'll figure it out together.

About Me
Independent IT support for people who would rather deal with a person.
I've been working with technology for more than 25 years. I started my career as an IT Manager for a non-profit organization, where I was responsible for virtually everything computer-related, from networks and hardware to printers, copiers and day-to-day support.
Working in a non-profit environment also taught me something that has stayed with me throughout my career: good technology isn't necessarily the most expensive technology. It's about understanding what you actually need, making sensible recommendations and getting the most from the resources available.
For the past 15 years, I've worked directly with individuals and small businesses, providing both on-site and remote support throughout the GTA.
Over the years, I've learned that good IT support isn't just about knowing how to fix things. It's about understanding the person or business behind the problem, what they actually need, and how they want to be supported.
Who I help
Whether you're setting up a new computer, dealing with a frustrating problem, or simply want some advice before making a technology decision, I can help.
Not every business needs a full-time IT employee. I can provide an experienced IT resource who gets to know your systems and your business without the overhead of another full-time position.
My Approach
Some people want to understand exactly what's happening. Others simply want the problem fixed and don't need a technical explanation. Most people fall somewhere in between.
I take the time to understand how you want to be supported, including how much guidance, explanation and communication you want along the way.
You get the help you need, at the level that's comfortable for you, without being talked over, talked down to or buried in unnecessary technical details.
My goal isn't just to fix today's problem. It's to become someone you can turn to when technology gets complicated.
Experience that makes a difference
My background gives me a perspective that goes beyond individual computer repairs. I've spent years looking at the bigger picture, balancing technology needs with practical budgets and helping people make decisions they can feel good about.
Whether you need an occasional helping hand, a trusted person to call when something goes wrong, or ongoing technology support for a small business, I can adapt to what works for you.
