Hi, I’m Dave — your go-to IT guy with over 20 years of experience in tech support, cybersecurity, and digital troubleshooting.
Whether you're a tech-savvy user or just trying to survive your latest Windows update, I’m here to make technology less intimidating and more useful.

I’ve spent the last two decades working in the trenches of IT — from field services in healthcare environments to securing networks, implementing multi-factor authentication, and helping everyday users solve problems without needing a computer science degree. I hold multiple industry certifications, including A+, Network+, Security+, CYSA+, Pentest+, AWS Certified, and Linux Essentials, and I’m currently pursuing my Master’s in Cybersecurity.

Dave in IT was born from a simple idea: Tech doesn’t have to be terrifying.
This blog is a friendly place where I break down complex topics into helpful, actionable advice. You’ll find everything from security tips and app recommendations to PC tricks, cloud help, mobile device know-how, and real-world tech guidance that actually makes sense.

If you’ve ever said, “Why is my Wi-Fi being weird again?”, you’re in the right place.
