News to know, but not necessarily recent.

Rates

My rates are as follows:

These rates are based on negotiation when a significant extent of the problem becomes known.  I will make sure that you, the client, are kept up to date at significant milestones.

  1. $30 for simple setup or configuration issue.

  2. $65 per hour for issues that can be solved remotely.

  3. $85 per hour for issues that need to be worked on site.

I like to call myself a Process Improvement Analyst which means that I'm good at leveraging technologies to either gain more from them or apply them in new ways.


My vision is to be able to help you with everything from the simple 10 minute fix, to offering customized solutions meet your needs.  I'll work with either MS Windows or the Mac, but currently not Linux/Unix.
