You may know me as the voice talking tech on FIVEaa and radio stations around Australia… but when the microphones are off, I spend my days helping real people solve real tech problems.

If your computer is running slow, your phone is driving you mad, your Wi-Fi keeps dropping out, or you’re worried about online scams and security — don’t struggle through it alone.

I service the Adelaide CBD, Norwood, Unley, Glenelg etc from Aldinga to Gawler… individuals and businesses with:

  • Windows & Apple computer support

  • Smartphone & tablet setup

  • Online security & scam protection

  • Email, backups & cloud services

  • Home & business Wi-Fi issues

  • Advice before buying new tech

  • Proper setup of new computers, tablets and phones

Too many people waste money buying the wrong product, get overwhelmed trying to set it up, or wait until a small issue becomes a major problem.

That’s where I come in.

I’ll help you choose the right technology for your needs, set it up correctly and securely, and explain things in plain English — without the jargon.

If something in your digital world isn’t working the way it should… make me your first call.
