Computer Specialist was created to service the Microsoft, Apple and Chrome based Google products. Over the years it has established clientele and a business address. The startup was created in the basement of a house and has grown to a street address. I graduated from the Colorado School of Mines with a general engineering bachelor’s degree. I worked 10 years in the Hydro Electric industry for a manufacturer of Spillway gates. I spent time programming computers to operate water control structures. I was inducted into ASME in 2006 for a project I completed in Malaysia, I might have a Professional Engineering license there. In 2010 I started to build custom Microsoft PC's, two years later I began servicing computers. I currently work part time at a school managing about 300 computers. I also work part time as an Adjunct Professor at a local community college instruct a 3 credit 100 level coarse in Microsoft Office. The Corporation was created 4 years ago for Computer Specialist Incorporated. I'm in good standing with the state of Colorado and service lots of Microsoft products, including Server 2012 and recently Server 2019. I also have a web network tied to the design. I am currently managing 32 Websites leading to my main domain which is www. computerspecialistllc.com . Some of the truncated sites include www.w3.gg and www.visa.casa. Please look me up online. Through the process I was then invited into the IEEE society and am now currently a member. I hope to join the Microsoft Partner program to help my company grow.


I have developed my skill set through hands on experience. I am good with removing viruses, bloatware and even cracked an encryption virus for one of my customers. With IEEE I am good to work on software issues and with ASME I am equipped to change hardware. The Company has worked on many different parts of the product. From basic email setup, how to operate a computer to the more advanced upgrades to Windows 10, Bios Configuring and website Development. Many of the jobs require me to set up Network infrastructure, I program routing systems, access point networks, firewalls, web filters and network switches. I implemented different types of technology also like Dual Wan routers and Directional WIFI for systems not connected to a phone line or Cable or Satellite. Living in Rural many unique solutions come about. For the Region I have developed dozens of websites for customers.
