Local, fast, knowledgeable, & irreverent technical support for Hopkins, Minnetonka, Plymouth, Edina, Eden Prairie, Orono, Wayzata, and Saint Louis Park. I like to stay west of the Lowry Hill tunnel. $75/hr for standard tech support and $40/hr for tutoring. No surprises (from me at least), no gimmicks, just the straight dope regarding your technical support needs. 5 - 10 minutes of free training may be required before repairs commence & 5 - 10 minutes of free advice is usually available.
Feel free to download my technology primer to start lessening your tech stress:

Testimonials

Brad has saved me and my desktop and laptop PC's on numerous occasions. He provided stellar technical service, networked my entire home, (PCs and printers). He charges a reasonable cost that is provided and agreed to before the work begins.
Katy Smith - Minneapolis

I've called upon Brad several times for his expertise with Networking and Microsoft Operating systems. He's very efficient, reasonable and always on time. I've recommended him to all of my friends and family members.
​Bill Owen - Minneapolis

I run my business from a home office. Brad has helped me several times over the past few years by providing IT services as well as software training. He provides quality, responsive service at a great value. I appreciate that Consumer Tech Support "has my back" when I encounter computer problems that I am not equipped to handle on my own.
Patty Osterberg - Hastings

​Once again you've cleaned up my mess! I really appreciate your layman's descriptions of things for me! It was a great value for the charge.
