Bio
Danny Yeo
Mike is a talented individual with sound and practical computer technical skills. When he was with a service provider organization, I would frequently send computer repair jobs, particularly Apple computers, his way. I am impressed with the reliability and quality of his work and appreciated the fact that he frequently kept me up-to-date with the status of the jobs despite his heavy workload. He is truly a professional and a great resource. Mike is also an active contributor to the Apple Macintosh Users’ Group at Brigham Young University. His willingness to share of his knowledge and experience freely has benefit many in the group. He is still active in the group forum. Mike is definitely trustworthy and has firm business ethics. My association with Mike has transcended from a business acquaintance to that of a friend. With his wonderful personality, I have no doubt that his friendship circle will increase with most, if not all of his future business endeavors.

Mike is honest, hard working, and takes pride in his work. Mike can always be counted on to take care of customers with professionalism and to do the job right the first time. I hired Mike several years ago and he excelled in all positions he held, as PC build & configuration manager, hardware & software technician, network engineer, and as our Apple technical services manager. Mike has an amazing knowledge, experience, and skill level with Apple computer’s hardware and software.
