About Sustainable Computing

I help Mac users get better acquainted with technology, in the SF East Bay area and via remote coaching sessions. My clients appreciate my patient, inquisitive approach, ability to meet them where they are, and that I provide the tools so you can learn to help yourself. I offer a blended focus on technology and people that might feel like therapy. I love learning from my customers as they share problems I've never experienced before. Some issues are easy to resolve while others take a bit of research and experimentation. Always, I appreciate your unique needs, preferences, and expectations about how technology should work for you, and I help you achieve a level of computing flexibility that accommodates them. Join me to learn the language of technology, build confidence, and become more self-sufficient. Biking to and from our appointments energizes me to do my best work, however I find meeting on Zoom is at least 80% as effective as meeting in person.

Jessica H.May 2018

I had a very short amount of time to get organized. Ben arrived exactly on time and was extremely efficient. He pointed me in the right direction repeatedly and gave me an opportunity to remain in contact despite my crazy international travel schedule.

I enjoyed his way of helping and now I am so much more comfortable using my Mac.

Thumbtack customerAug 2016

I have used Macs for years, but didn't keep up with the software as it updated the last few years. Ben is very knowledgeable and was able to help me in "catching up" with the latest OSX updates. He also organized and deleted computer files that were causing me problems, He was very responsive to my phone calls and requests for assistance.

Ben is knowledgeable, patient, and kind. He is organized and concise, and paid careful attention to what I wanted to learn. I learned what I need to know in a short period of time.
