About Home Computer Help

In business in the Santa Ynez Valley since January 1996 and in the computer business since 1965, I am providing computer assistance to the home and small business user who needs one-on-one training or help on how to operate, replace, network, upgrade or repair their computer.  My service is limited to the Santa Ynez Valley. Click on "Services Page" to see a complete list of services provided.

I Grew up in Santa Barbara but have lived everywhere but there for most of my adult life. I moved to the Santa Ynez Valley in November of 1995 (from New Mexico). I lived in Thailand most of the seventies. I worked for IBM (here and in Thailand) and several other big computer companies in decades past - Even ran my own computer service firm (with partner, and good friend, Bill Louton) in NM for ten years.
My parents and siblings never moved from the Santa Barbara area so I have always returned here between "adventures".  I am back for good now.

The photos below are quite old now (circa 1998).  The show Dave at Denmarket Square where SYV.COM was once located.

Old Naval Reserve building in background where I once taught basic electronics.  This building in now a maritime museum.
