I support all people’s right to freedom and sovereignty from repressive colonial systems through non-cooperation. Please speak out against tyranny in your own way as we all share this Earth. Using violence, or the threat of violence, to subjugate a people for political gain, or any other reason, is unacceptable. Humans were born with the right to be free from oppression.
I provide computer repair services at my office in downtown Santa Rosa. When I am not repairing computers at my office, I devote some of my free operation time to home and office visits for individuals and small business (5 employees or less). I troubleshoot and offer recommendations on computer technologies related to productivity and entertainment. I also design and performance-tune hardware for gamers and creative artists that use computers for entertainment and professional productions. I also setup and configure desktops and workstations for office work.
If you require an immediate response, it’s best to reach me by phone or text. I operate Monday through Friday from 8 am to 5 pm and my turn-around times for my standard 1st class service is 3-7 business days. I also have Priority Service with a 1-3 day turnaround along with availability on Saturday from 10am to 4pm. If you require a higher priority than my normal operating hours and turn-around times, please make special arrangements with me ahead of time. Finally, if you do not require 1st Class or Priority service and can wait a week or more, talk to me about my 2nd Class special reduced rates if you are looking to save money. Contact me if you have questions. You can schedule an appointment with me to have your device serviced at my office, or to setup a home/office consultation.

Many current Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEM), Dell, HP, Lenovo, Sony, Toshiba, and Apple recently have been making design changes to their products that impact my services to you. If you plan on upgrading to, or purchasing a new computer, I will recommend a custom-made computer, instead of an OEM Computer that you purchase from a computer store. This will affect some of my services to you. I can still handle most repair issues with OEM computers, but I will no longer be performing hardware upgrades to any OEM Models…more

Once you’ve paid money for a product, the manufacturer shouldn’t be able to dictate how you use it—it’s yours. Ownership means you should be able to open, hack, repair, upgrade, or tie bells on it. Support the right to repair and sane copyright legislation.
Big Tech and Big Content are oppressing creativity. It’s time to #EndCreativeMonopolies by reimagining our archaic copyright laws to put artists before Disney, Amazon, Spotify, & News Corp. Take action in support of artists everywhere.

Consultations always start as assessments of your issue, that may lead to a repair or resolution of your issue. I collect my full minimum fee if you decide not to accept my repair or resolution results. In some cases, if some service, 3rd party result, or product is not available, or the service cannot be performed in a manner I find acceptable, I will offer you a recommendation in place of a repair or resolution. My full service minimum fee for this time are collected for assessments as well as results. If your issue was not resolvable due to a missing service, product, or 3rd party result I will apply half of the fee I collected from the original appointment as a credit to the next visit that involves a follow-up to the preexisting issue.
I excel at repairing and resolving most technical issues in a timely and cost effective manner.

Along the way of providing technical services to the public, I noticed great suffering happening on a spiritual level between myself and the world. I realized, I could no longer sit by and watch my world be destroyed by inaction. Today I work very hard to bring my world into alignment with Cosmic Spiritual Law though my own personal activism. I follow strict cosmic codes that govern behavior centered around cause and effect. Every action has an equal an opposite reaction. This principle is well known to apply in physics, but it also operates in every area of life. Harm creates harm, and goodness creates goodness. There are no exceptions. The biggest problem to understanding this concept is knowing what actions cause harm, and what actions cause good. For me, this is a life journey, lived though the heart, that I take to find resolution. You can find out more about these codes from the 7 hermetic principles which is based on the Hermetic teachings.
Spiritual Activism is the coming together of spirituality and activism. It is not about religion, it is not about any form of dogma, it is activism that comes from the heart, not just the head, activism that is compassionate, positive, kind, fierce and transformative. Being a spiritual activist means taking responsibility for my part in creating the change I want to see in the world. Living in a spirit of positivity, compassion, and love with a balance of independence and self determination. Nothing could be more inspiring and more rewarding than being the change I want to see in the world, within and without.
