I’ve been providing professional computer help for over 20 years.
I started with an in-person computer repair business and later became one of the highest-rated online computer technicians in the United States.
Today, I help people nationwide with remote computer repair and support, and I’ve earned 1,400+ five-star reviews by doing things differently — no upselling, no shortcuts, and no charge if the problem can’t be fixed.
From Local Computer Repair to Online Computer Help
More than 20 years ago, I launched Santa Barbara Computer Works, providing computer repair for local businesses and home users.
The business grew quickly because customers trusted me with their computers, data, and livelihoods.
After several years, I was forced to relocate out of state — which meant walking away from a successful local computer repair business.
Rather than compromise my values by working for a company that pressured technicians to upsell or charge customers even when problems couldn’t be fixed, I chose a different path.

Why I Built an Online-Only Computer Help Business
As computer prices dropped, especially Windows PCs, many expensive repairs no longer made sense. I believed customers deserved honest guidance, even if that meant telling them not to spend money.
I decided to offer online computer help instead — long before remote support was widely trusted.
Many people were skeptical. Some still are.
But for customers willing to try remote computer repair, the results spoke for themselves.
How I Became the Best-Reviewed Online Computer Tech
To build trust early on, I used Thumbtack to connect with customers. Over time, I became the top-rated computer help provider on the platform, earning hundreds of verified five-star reviews.
That reputation carried over to Google and beyond.
Today:
-
20+ years of experience
-
1,400+ five-star reviews
-
Customers in all 50 states
-
One technician — me
I rarely use paid leads anymore. Most new customers find me through search results or referrals.
Why My Online Computer Support Is Different
Anyone can claim to be the best.
You can’t fake thousands of five-star reviews.
My online computer repair service is different because:
-
I don’t upsell unnecessary services
-
I don’t charge if the problem can’t be fixed
-
I tell customers when a repair isn’t worth it
-
I personally handle every session
This is why so many customers say they trust me more than big-box computer repair services.
One Technician. No Shortcuts.
Being a single online computer technician means:
-
You always work with the same person
-
Nothing is handed off to a call center
-
No scripts, quotas, or commission-based sales
-
Your problem actually gets attention
I didn’t scale a company.
I scaled trust.
Is Online Computer Repair Safe?
If you’re wondering whether online computer help is safe, you’re not alone.
Most computer problems don’t require physical access — they require experience and patience. Remote computer repair allows me to:
-
Diagnose problems faster
-
Fix issues in real time
-
Save customers money
And my guarantee removes the risk:
If your computer isn’t running better after I help you, you don’t pay.
Being cautious online is smart and learning how to avoid online computer scams helps people choose legitimate services with confidence.
