TechButler Computer & Network Repair
Diagnosing and fixing the core issues, from hardware failures to flaky Wi-Fi and intricate mesh network setups, right in your home.
Tech Coaching & Lessons
One-on-one help with the software you already own.
Most people have a grandchild who will "help" - for about ten minutes. Then they get annoyed. You stop asking. The problem doesn't go away.
I'll cover the same ground as many times as it takes, at whatever pace works for you. No sighing, no shortcuts, no condescension. When I leave, you'll actually know how to do the thing, not just have watched me do it.
Common topics:
- QuickBooks and accounting software

Sessions are typically 1.5 to 2 hours. I can come back as often as you'd like, many clients book a standing monthly session.
