IT Consulting Services in Cottage Grove, Oregon
Professional, project-based technical solutions for businesses with 20 users or fewer. We deliver essential infrastructure stability—including workstation migrations, patch management, and cost-effective backups—without the overhead of a traditional managed service provider. Skip the long-term contracts and unnecessary upsells for a flexible, no-nonsense approach that values local partnerships and service trades.
I provide practical IT assistance for local shops and small offices (think 10 users or fewer) that aren't looking for a corporate contract or a "Geek Squad" sales pitch. I understand that many managed service providers won't even look at a business of your size, but I specialize in exactly that. My focus is on providing high-quality, project-based work—like Windows 10 migrations, network troubleshooting, and data backups—without the upsells or monthly retainers. I’m a local resident looking to help neighbors keep their tech running smoothly, and I’m always open to flexible arrangements or trades that work for both of us.
We specialize in practical, project-based IT solutions for micro-businesses in Cottage Grove. Our focus is on providing essential technical stability for shops and offices with 20 users or fewer—without the long-term contracts or unnecessary upsells.
Core Project Services
Workstation Migrations: Efficiently moving systems from Windows 10 to modern, supported environments without data loss.

To keep things simple and affordable for businesses with 10 users or fewer, I focus strictly on project-based health checks and migrations. To maintain this low-pressure model:
No Monthly Retainers: You don't pay me a "subscription" just to exist; you only pay (or trade) for the work I actually do.
No 24/7 Emergency Support: I am a local neighbor, not a call center. I don't offer on-call "emergency" response.
No Upselling: I will never push you to buy enterprise-grade hardware or "premium" subscriptions that your small shop doesn't need.
No "Geek Squad" Jargon: I won't talk down to you or try to confuse you with tech-speak to justify a bill.
