Who is Chancer Reese?

Chancer Reese, IT trainer & consultant

The Rest of the Story

First off let me tell you that I do this stuff for a living (don't let the dreads fool ya...)

I have over 10 years of professional experience in building, installing and maintaining computers and networks in various small businesses, government agencies and educational environments.

I received my bachelor's degree in communications from Howard University and after working in the "real world" returned to school at age 40 to obtain an associate degree in Information Technology.

Currently I hold five technology certifications in three subject areas and has developed skills in computer troubleshooting, desktop support, technology training, basic web design and maintenance along with experience in various programs/applications from DOS 6 to Windows Vista.

So why listen to me?

Because I will tell you the truth about technology. I will be blunt, honest and up front about what works and what is BS dressed up a ball gown.

I will be real open with you because not too long ago I was terrible with computers, too. I admit it..."My name is Chancer. And I was clueless" .

You see, I got into a bit of trouble in high school concerning my "mishandling" of a local university's computer terminal. And no it didn't involve "hacking" or anything illegal like that. I wasn't technologically-savvy back then. I just made a very dumb teenager mistake that was very expensive. I barely escaped...

But due to my little "digital drama", I swore I would never take a job that required me to work with computers, I disliked them so much.

So after college and a short stint in the military, I slowly, while ping-ponging from job to job, started picking up the basics and learned more about computers. Mostly out of pure self-defense.

After much trial and error (mostly error), I got hooked. I bought a little Atari computer (a very good Apple clone back in the day) and read lots and lots and lots (WHEW!) of how-to books and magazines. Soon I was on my way. People started asking me, the "techno-idiot", how to fix their machines!

Finally, I was able to return to tech school and specialize in information technology. I learned alot in tech school, but was my experiences as a computer "failure", that makes me feel so passionately about teaching and training working people on how to use and understand technology.

This website is designed to be an interactive training center for small office business people. I hope through my articles, special reports, courses and other resources that I can help you save money and effectively manage your computer systems.
