Why do I do it?I just want to help as many people as I can with technology - I love this stuff

The PC Guy is my part-time gig that has become a booming success for this computer/network technical GEEK. My full-time gig makes me unavailable form 7:30 to 4:00 PM Monday to Friday. My available hours of operation as the Infamous PG Guy run anywhere from 5:30 PM to around 10:00 PM on weekdays and pretty much all day on the weekends. For those of you who ask, I have no plans on leaving my full-time gig anytime soon.

I have a variety of regular business customers, including a number of physicians, and many residential clients. Any of these clients would gladly provide a reference if necessary. I also sell hardware and full computer systems.

I plan to bring in a few of my work colleagues to help build a strong team very soon. We already have agreements in place that have allowed us to take on larger upgrade projects during downtime for most businesses  - the WEEKEND.

Current and Past Gigs:

The Moncton Hospital - FacilicorpNB - Information Services
I am currently a full-time Support Analyst with the South-East Regional Health Authority or you may know it as the Moncton Hospital. In this role, I troubleshoot different problems everyday. I can't imagine a job that would provide the high level of experience, with the variety of software, hardware, and network troubleshooting that I see each and everyday.

My current duties involve software repackaging for distribution to over 1700 computers. I am using the following tools to complete these tasks:

Wise Package Studio 7
Batch and Script files
Altiris Software Distribution Solution (for software distribution)

Nerds On-Site
I worked with Nerds On-Site Inc. in Montreal, PQ for 2 years starting in 2000. Yes... I was a Nerd. I was even caught and Gagged by Just for Laughs Gags (Click the link to see the video) back in 2002. During this time I had the opportunity to work with many different business and residential clients.

Contracts with ARC - I started my career by doing a number of contracts with a company called ARC (They hire independent contractors for outsourced jobs). I did an upgrade for all the Maritime Pay for Less Shoe stores in early 2000. I also did a last minute office expansion project in New York, NY the week after 9-11 for an insurance company. This company needed to get back to business the week after the tragic attacks.
