Hi, I'm Lewis.
Local IT help for Lowcountry businesses and homes.
I set up, fix and protect the technology small businesses run on. Your friendly neighborhood tech! I'll have your back no matter what.
Serving Bluffton, Hilton Head and the surrounding Lowcountry, on-site or remote.
What I can help with
Most of my work is with small offices that don't have an IT person of their own. I help households too.
Think of me as your IT department, your friendly neighborhood tech. I work with you, and I'm always just a call or text away.
Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace
Email, file sharing, Teams and user accounts set up properly, or moved over from what you have now without losing a day of work.
Security and backups
Antivirus, multi-factor sign-in, backups that actually restore, and a little staff training so a fake email doesn't become a bad week.
Computers, Macs and phones
New PCs and Macs set up and managed, so adding or replacing an employee's device takes minutes instead of an afternoon.
Networks, Wi-Fi and phones
Reliable office Wi-Fi, printers that cooperate, and business phone systems, including moving your number to Teams.
Troubleshooting
Something's broken and you need it working. I'll find the cause, fix it, and tell you how to keep it from happening again.
Planning and vendors
A straight answer on what to buy, what to skip, and what you're overpaying for. I'll deal with the vendors so you don't have to.
Patient help, on your schedule, at your kitchen table.

I've supported companies in architecture, restaurants, advertising and publishing, from five-person teams to organizations of 700 people. That range means I've likely seen your problem before, and I know how to size the fix to fit your business and your budget.
