Owner and Macintosh Consultant

Oct 2006 - Present
I've been a Macintosh consultant since 1995, and a Mac user since 1987. Troubleshooting, research, purchase advice, deployment, are my strengths. I bring the experience of running a wholesale import company, and later a retail gallery on Macs to my consulting practice, to the benefit of my business clients.I understand the budgeting needs and constraints of a business as well as the productivity needs, and can help an owner or manager balance the compromise of budget and productivity of their Apple technology.

Owner
-
Jan 1989 - Nov 1995
I started IndoPacific Trading Company after a visit to Indonesia. I saw an enormous wealth of fine handicrafts, tribal art and antiques, and fell in love with the place and the crafts. I began using my basement as a warehouse, and grew rapidly until I had 7 employees and a commercial warehouse, with customers from Alaska to Columbia, in every state of the US and a dozen or more other countries. This is where I learned how to maintain Macintosh computers, as we used Macs to run the business. After years of being on the road 7 months a year, I finally grew tired of the grind and closed the company.
