After working in the construction trades and Home Depot, I went back to school for Architectural Drafting, but found computers far more interesting. While going to school, I spent all of my free time working on computers (I had three networked together by the time I left school).
I worked in Architecture for the next thirteen years, learning everything I could about building, maintaining and repairing workstations and servers. I also learned graphics and web site authoring too. I became an IT Manager.
Then one day I lost my job and I thought I would start my own business. I had been doing computer repair after hours and weekends for years, so maybe I could do it full time. I looked for some place locally on the internet to list my services, but found nothing. At that moment it came to me, why not create one. This is how Geeks in Phoenix got started.
I also have another web site, StGelais.com, complete with a guest blog, which I invite you to browse. I still do computer repair, computer graphics and website authoring.
