I help families and busy professionals with computer issues, new device setup, data recovery questions, and parental controls — with practical support that is clear, patient, and trustworthy.
Most tech problems fit into one of these simple categories. Start with a quick call, and I’ll help you figure out the best next step.
For parents who want safer devices, better boundaries, and less uncertainty around screen time.
For slow computers, annoying issues, and everyday problems that keep your technology from working well.
For new computers, phones, tablets, printers, or home office equipment that need to be set up correctly.
Kids’ devices change fast. Parental controls can be confusing, scattered across multiple apps, and easy to overlook. I help you make sense of the options and set up practical boundaries that fit your family.

I’m Brandon, the person behind The Computer Geek. I’m a former software engineer with more than 25 years of technology experience, and I enjoy helping people solve frustrating computer and device problems without making them feel talked down to.
Whether you need help with a slow computer, a new device, lost files, or parental controls, my goal is to make the next step clear and practical. I’ll explain what I’m seeing, what I recommend, and whether the issue is something I can help with directly.
As a parent of three, I also understand how challenging it can be to manage technology at home. I help families think through device settings, screen time, app restrictions, and online safety in a way that fits real life.
The Computer Geek is appointment-based, which allows me to provide focused help while keeping expectations clear.
