Matthew Friedlander’s Summary
I graduated from Kutztown University of Pennsylvania in 2007 with a Bachelor of Arts in History. I grew up a computer geek and in college I helped support my tuition by assisting my classmates with their computer problems. Dead computers, lost term papers and broken printers were common distractions and the college tech center wasn’t open at 2am. I was.
After graduating just in time for the worst economic slowdown since the 1970s, I decided to start my own business. I enjoy helping people solve their computer problems and I have years of experience doing it. I am a low cost, reliable and committed alternative to overpriced agencies or the dismal efforts of large retailers (I won’t name names but if you’ve ever experienced their “service” you’ll know what I mean.) I’m based in Huntington Station, Long Island, but I’m happy to travel.
I believe small businesses are the backbone of this country, and that if this recession does any good it will be to teach more people the pride of working for themselves. If you’ve got a tech problem and need some help, I hope you’ll give me a call.
