About Me
I believe in maximizing the benefits of technology while minimizing the costs and mitigating the harm to people and our planet. ~ Serving nonprofits in Nevada County since 2000 ~
" I have been working on computers professionally in the nonprofit arena for over two decades and am excited to share my knowledge of open source software, green technology, and affordable computing with an ever-expanding network of local nonprofits. I understand that as a nonprofit there is often a limited technology budget. I know where to get discounted or free hardware, software, and ongoing services. I am on a mission to make it as easy as possible for nonprofits to access the technology help that is already out there waiting for them."

Testimonials
Jeffrey is knowledgeable, kind and dependable. He has been helping us for over 14 years. He is great at finding creative and affordable technology solutions for our nonprofit. I would recommend him highly for any nonprofit in need of technology help!
Working with Jeffrey was a true pleasure. We thought he was just going to help us set up two new workstations, and we ended up with so much more. Jeffrey’s full-system approach helped us revamp our technology structure; networking our existing and new computers with a central server (complete with remote access for employees working from home), setting up more ergonomic workstations for several of our employees, and establishing an automatic backup system and uninterrupted power supply for our new server. The resulting changes in our work space have increased our productivity immensely, and knowing that it was done with refurbished and inexpensive equipment was an added bonus. He even took a relatively new laptop that we’d been told wasn’t worth fixing and restored it to full functioning. Jeffrey was fun, easy to work with and highly experienced. We really enjoyed working with him and are very grateful for his expertise!
