Hey there! I am Vince, your local Tech Smith. I grew up here in the Queen City and call The Ozarks, my stomping ground! I live right on the south-side of Springfield and when I moved to my neighnorhood, I found a sense of pride in my community and decided I would start a business to contribute and improve my corner of it!
I have been fascinated by electronics and clever contraptions since I was a child. My career path has lead me many different ways but always mechanically and/or technologically involved. I also love speaking with customers and clients to try to find their problem so that I can fix it, like a puzzle. I couldn't quite find this "job" anywhere. Then one day, while at my day-job, I realized how much I was "helping" with areas that did not partain to my "job description." Later that week, I went to visit my parents with my family. While I was BBQ'ing some pork chops, my Mother asked me to fix her computer. When I finished fixing the computer she asked me to hang a decoration on the wall. After that, she asked for some help with her car! That's when I joking told her I would have to start charging her. Boom, Queen City Tech Smith was born - but I still don't charge my Mama. That would be cruel.
I decided I wanted to stop working for someone else and do something that truly mattered to me: helping a neighbor or friend in need. I know electronics. I know basic home up-keep and maintenance. I was trained as a mechanic and know what it takes to get a laborous, detail-oriented job done.
When I first thought of this business, my Wife told me to call it "Juanita's guy" - referring to my childhood bestfriend's Grandma. She would pay me way to much money to do simple things like run her anti-virus, unbox and set up a TV, or help her with some settings for her computer. This is the type of service I offer. That helpful neighbor, the favorite grandson, the dedicated nephew. Not a salesman who just wants to make a dollar off you every time your TV flickers.
Everyone's tech knowledge is different but that shouldn't exclude anyone from utilizing a device that is designed to make some portion of our human existence, either, easier or more entertaining. If you have equipment that is not doing one of those 2 things, I want to help you.
I can help simplify tech without using the industry's jargon. I can help explain how to use all house-hold tech and with patience.
I am your Tech- and Task-Smith. Nearly a Jack of all trades - I offer a classic lite handy-man service with a touch of tech know-how to help you stay safe in your home, get the full value of your equipment, and help you stay informed and educated about device safety and personal data protection.
Most tasks and tech help do not need to cost you hundreds! Affordable help for your home tasks, electronics set-up, and computer assistance.
I have ZERO brand affiliations, sponsors, or endorsements. I do not sell any products and do not collect any commissions. You only pay for labor, knowledge and care.
I am the step before the $$$$ high dollar techs $$$$. I am the neighbor, right here on the south side of Springfield, Missouri; and to ensure I can provide the highest quality of service, I only offer my services in:
Springfield, Battlefield, Brookline, Republic, Nixa and Ozark, Missouri.
