Tek Speks...Computer
Consulting for all computer users.
Corey Serrins has been working with computers since 1980.
His first computer was an Atari 400, which was soon
upgraded to an Apple //e. Next his father bought the first
model Macintosh, and from there he was hooked. Corey has
been working on the Macintosh computer since 1984. Corey
then became involved with the Windows operating system
starting with 3.1, and was self taught with Windows
95/98/ME/2000/XP.
Since high school, Corey had known that he wanted his own
company to be called Tech Specs, which stands for Technical
Specialist. When the company became a reality, the internet
was just starting to grow, but http://www.techspecs.com was
taken, so Corey changed the phonetics of the original name
to what it is today, Tek Speks.
How did Tek Speks become a reality? With the push of his
wife, he realized that all the help he was giving friends
on the computer, could be lucrative. Things were slow at
first, but through word of mouth, numerous people began to
use Tek Speks for all their computer needs. People saw that
one-on-one contact and great customer service was provided
by Corey and they spread the word.
Tek Speks is now known throughtout Gainesville as the
Macintosh resource and Corey is referred to as the Mac Dr.
Don't let the title fool you though, he is extremely
experienced on Windows as well.
So why "The Computer Guy?" It seems everywhere I go, and
all the people I help continued to call me by that name, so
I took it on professionally as a way to let people know who
am I!
A great story, but what are my qualifications? other than
the 22 years of personal experience?
I am A+ certified, which is a computer service
certification by CompTIA. This certification lets you know
that I am knowledgable at servicing computers on the
inside, as well as troubleshooting the operating system.
Check this link for more information about CompTIAs A+
certification.
I am OS 10.3 and 10.4 Help Desk Certified by Apple
Computers, Inc. This means that I am knowledgeable on both
the 10.3 (Panther) and 10.4 (Tiger) operating systems and
how to troubleshoot them.
I am a certified teacher by the state of Florida, and
taught grades 4 - 12 for 13 years in Alachua County, so I
am familiar not only with the computer, but what is
involved in giving you the best learning experience.
We look forward to serving Gainesville for a long time to
come.
