🛡️ Scam Shield

Spot the tricks before they cost you.

The fake "virus" pop-ups. The "IRS" calls demanding gift cards. The "tech support" that asks for remote access. I teach you to recognize every one of them in plain English — and you can text me anything suspicious, any time, before you click or pay.

My promise: I will never ask for your passwords or banking details, and I will never tell you to give anyone remote access to your device.

📍 It happened right here in Sedona.

A Sedona neighbor in her 90s was on her way to hand her banking information to a scammer — until her Uber driver, a retired police officer, spotted the signs and stopped it. "I think the good Lord sent him there," she said. That's what neighbors do — and it's exactly why this line exists. Read the story (FOX 10) →

Remember: your bank will never send a courier for your cards, and no real helper demands secrecy.

📦 White-glove device setup

New phone? New computer? Don't spend a weekend fighting it.

Nearly 3 in 4 adults over 65 say they need help setting up new technology. That's exactly what this is: I unbox it, move everything over — photos, contacts, passwords, favorites — set it up safely, and then teach you until you're comfortable. Unhurried, in your home.

  • $179 — one device, everything transferred & taught
  • $279 — two devices in one visit (new phone + computer)
  • $149 — member rate

📸 Photo Rescue

A lifetime of photos — safe, organized, and shared.

The average phone holds ~2,400 photos — yet only about 1 in 3 people back them up, and nearly 30% have already lost treasured photos for good. One drop, one theft, one bad update.

The Starter Rescue — $249 flat: up to 3 hours in your home. We gather every photo from every device into one place, clear the duplicates, set up automatic cloud backup, create a shared family album, and I show you how it all works.

Add-ons: print & slide scanning (managed for you, at cost + $25 handling) · digital photo frame set up for the family — $99 · memorial & anniversary slideshows — $149.

🏠 Second-Home Tech Watch

Away for the season? Your home's tech shouldn't be a mystery.

A quarter of Sedona homes sit empty part of the year. Cameras go offline, Wi-Fi drops, smart locks misbehave — and nobody notices until you land. I watch it while you're away and have everything ready before you arrive.

Tech Watch — $79/mo

Monthly remote check of Wi-Fi, cameras, locks & thermostat · pre-arrival prep each season · priority on-call when you're in town.

À la carte

Pre-arrival "make it all work" visit — $129 · one-off remote check — $39 · Tech Watch Plus with a monthly in-person visit — $129/mo.

Who this is for

  • Seniors who want a patient teacher, not a rushed technician
  • Adult children who want someone trustworthy looking out for their parents
  • Second-home owners who need a go-to tech person in Sedona
  • Anyone tired of feeling talked down to
