David was raised Cleveland Ohio.  In 1992 his parents moved to Ft Myers.  He came to help them and visit, and fell in love with this area.  It was only a matter of months  between his visit and his arrival as a new Southwest Florida transplant. 

Moving was no problem for him because of his skills as an auto mechanic.  He came with his ASE Certification and a lot of experience turning wrenches.  He also had a resume as a service manager for the likes of Tuffy Muffler and Midas.  He quickly found a job, settled in, and knew he had made the right decision moving away from the cold and snow.

After 15 years of being a mechanic, he decided to look for a job that didn't require being twisted like a pretzel all day covered in grease.  He was getting tired of making good money and giving all back to the tool man for all the new equipment he had to buy just to keep up with the new technology by the auto manufacturers.

He decided that his hobby of playing around with computers might just be a good choice.  Computers were becoming more mainstream, and his friends and their friends were always having problems with their computers and asking him to fix them. His love of computers started when he got his first Commodore 64 (in plain English, that was a very early computer).  Because of his mindset being mechanical, he was always tearing computers apart to see what made them work.  This same curiosity drove him to figure out software.  He already had a very good basic understanding of computers, now all he needed was someone more knowledgeable and willing to take him under his wing and teach him to become more proficient on more models and to teach him the ins and outs of networks..

Finally he met the person he was looking for.  It was actually a customer that brought a car for him to fix.  They started talking, and David learned that he owned a computer business called Office Solutions, and he was looking to train someone that was willing to learn to do things right. They struck a deal on the spot and David went to work, learning from his mentor, by practical experience on the bench, and from manuals he would bring home and read at night. Obviously he learned well, because he skipped going to formal schooling and still passed his Microsoft Certification, Comp TIA A+ Certification and the Net+ Certification.

His mentor decided to move back to Chicago, David ended up buying the business in 2005, and has been going strong ever since. This year he decided to change the name to Mobile Computer Guru because it is a name he has been tagged with for some time, and better describes what he does.  David would rather come to where the computer is being used while it is hooked to the equipment it is used with, because too many times when someone brought him a tower, he discovered it wasn't the computer at all, but rather a conflict with one of the peripherals, a router, or with the Internet connection.  It also saves him time and call backs, so he can save his customers money.

Not only does he fix the normal virus problems and conflicts, David specializes in setting up new computers by bringing over all the old data and making everything identical to the way it was on the old computer, setting up back ups so even if you do get hit with a virus or lose a hard drive, you don't lose your data.  He does a lot of work setting up and working on networks, and even sets up touch screen point of sale solutions for businesses and restaurants.

He feels his big advantage over other companies is that he does all the work, and if you have a problem in the future, he knows you and your needs and knows what has been done to the computer or what problems you were having before, saving time tracking down issues, saving you money. He says it is much the same as when he was a mechanic; if you were his customer, he got to know your car, the way you drove, what had been done previously, and what was coming up to be done.

In his spare time, he enjoys riding ATV's, 4 wheelers, and boating, along with, believe it or not, building new computer systems and mastering software.
