About ‘The PC Guy’..

I began my fascination with computers back in 1983, programming a tiny 64k unit. I progressed to Amigas, Commodores, IBM PCs, DOS, the first Windows O/S and just kept on going right up to the current Windows10. In 1993 I began exploring the internet using FTP/Chat-clients and quickly learned HTML programming before there was any software written to compile like we have today. (FrontPage, WordPress, etc.)  At the time I was doing HTML in Notebook.

From online business, stocks, operating systems, viruses, hacking, web-cams, networking, wireless systems.. I’ve seen it all develop and learned it as it arrived right up to today. What can I say?, I just love everything about computers, the Net and Tech in general. 🙂  

I began repairing computers and building websites for others in 1993, but mostly just part-time from my full-time engineering tech job.  In 2007 I decided to work for myself and began my own Mobile PC Repair business in Southern California.  I did this full time for five years until I then decided to live overseas in the Philippines, which is where I reside now, pretty much semi-retired, but still in love with all things tech and on the net.  I wrote a very detailed book on everything I learned about running my business and have it available here.  

I’ve lived on about five different islands (so far) since 2012 and visited others.  I keep a video journal of my adventures in the Philippines at this Youtube Channel.
