About Me
It’s about sharing what I have Learned
Hello! I’m Michael
Technology Consultant Extrodinaire
It all started way back in the late ’70s while I was in the Police Force in South Africa coding offender fingerprints to be entered into a central database, which by the way, was the first in Africa, and the technology bug bit me. Since then I have programmed, analyzed, trained, consulted, business owned and managed my way from Africa to New Zealand to Canada.
My training started as a COBOL programmer way back in 1978 while in the Police Force and I have never looked back, from designing software to owning my own Microsoft training center in South Africa, to managing a call center in New Zealand. I have the experience you need. And I have seen Penguins!
Being an avid hiker, photographer and Rotarian also give me a good life balance with Technology on one side and the wind in my hair on the other.
Having over 35 years of experience with these fancy boxes called computers and smart devices and having been a trainer/consultant in 3 different countries, I offer all this and more to you and as I said before, the lure of home-brewed coffee does wonders for the little grey cells.
My Approach & Values
Having the tools and support for the job at hand is paramount for a successfully completed experience. Consider me the toolbox for all your Technology needs. I are able to show you how to use your devices to get the job done. Sharing my knowledge and getting my clients to feel more comfortable in the world of technology is where I come in.
Treat clients as you would like yourself to be treated is how I approach each new and individual consulting experience. While there are many ways to complete a task, I will get you going in the manner which best suits you and your circumstances and if you are not sure then we will work together to find the right solution for you.

Remote IT Assistance & Coaching
Today’s technology allows many small issues to be corrected remotely, which can be helpful in rural areas or in extreme weather. As long as we have internet connectivity, I can help.
Onsite IT Assistance & Coaching
Using one’s own device makes it easier to understand and digest the information being taught, so I will come to your home or office to keep you on familiar ground, relaxed, and using your own technology. The lure of coffee does wonders as well…
IT Consulting & Training
Technology training does not just mean showing you how to use an application but also how to purchase or advise on the best solution to a problem. If I do not have the answer , I will find the right person for your question.
