Real Computer Help From a Real Person
Mobile Computer Support and Audio/Video Installation
I come to your home or small business, explain things in plain English, and fix the problem — no store counter, no phone tree, no runaround.
Serving Santa Cruz, Capitola, Aptos & Scotts Valley since 1998.
Things I Fix, Set Up, and Untangle
If it's not on this list, ask anyway — there's a good chance I can still help.
New PC & Printer Setup
Unboxing, set up, and connected the way you actually use it — including getting your printer talking to it.
WiFi Setup
Reliable internet in every room, a network name and password you understand, and no more dead spots.
RAM & Hard Drive Upgrades
A slow computer often just needs more memory or a faster drive — usually cheaper and greener than replacing it.
Virus Eradication
Popups, scareware, and mystery slowdowns cleaned up, with straight talk about what caused it.
Advice on Buying a New PC
Not sure what to buy or where? Tell me what you use it for and your budget, and I'll point you to the right machine.
Security Camera Installation
Cameras mounted, wired or connected over WiFi, and set up so you can actually view them from your phone.
Home Audio/Video Setup
TVs, speakers, and streaming devices connected and simplified, with a remote setup that makes sense.
What I Don't Do
Staying focused on this keeps me sharp at what I do best: desktop support for everyday PCs.
Apple / Mac Work
I work on Windows PCs. I don't service Mac computers, iPhones, or iPads.
Corporate Network Infrastructure
I'm a desktop support technician, and a small business network administrator. I am not a medium or large business network engineer or network architect. Business servers and enterprise networking aren't something I take on.
About Geek On Wheelz
Hi, I'm the Geek behind Geek On Wheelz.
I've been helping homeowners and small businesses in Santa Cruz County with their computers since 1998. It's just me — no call center, no dispatch queue, no stranger in a branded polo shirt. You call or email, we talk through what's going on, and I come to you.
For the last several years I kept this going part time alongside a full-time job, working with a small group of longtime clients. I've since retired from that job and picked Geek On Wheelz back up — and I'm taking on new clients again.
I bring years of technical leadership from Amazon and other premier organizations, progressing from hands-on test engineering and project management into roles as Customer Support Manager, Software Engineering Manager, and most recently, Director of Technology. This wide-ranging background gives me a practical, 360-degree perspective on modern technology operations.
