Keep IT simple.
ABOUT
In 2006, I decided that it was time for a fresh approach to helping families, micro and small businesses with their information technology issues. Too often, smaller businesses have to settle on "home" grade solutions but could benefit from the features, stability, and performance of "large business" grade solutions that often come with a hefty price tag. I specialize in finding like-minded developers and vendors to offer "large business" grade solutions at a small business' budget. I am a small business too!
I am experienced with Linux (Ubuntu is my favourite), Apple and Microsoft mobile, desktop and server operating systems as well as their productivity applications. I also happen to be familiar with common markup, scripting and programming languages.
I am a Barracuda MSP Partner, a registered Avast Authorized Reseller and a Netgate/pfSense partner. While my services focus on your core information technology infrastructure, I work with local businesses who each excell in their chosen trade. My frequent partners include OT Group, KOS, Phone Works, TDL Canada, Revue Design, D2 Wireless and Recovery Force. Favoured products come from Lenovo, Ubiquiti, APC, Canon and Kyocera.
I especially enjoy utilizing Free and Open Source alternatives like Mozilla Firefox, Thunderbird, mailcow, VirtualBox, LibreOffice and Bitwarden to offer stable, feature rich solutions to my clients.
I pride myself on offering excellent service at affordable rates with an absolute guarantee of satisfaction. I believe that there is still something to an in-person meeting and a handshake!
