About Friendly Tech Guide

Experience, with a personal approach.

Hi, I’m TJ, the person behind Friendly Tech Guide.

Throughout my career in photography, teaching, disaster recovery consulting, website design, and the management of diverse systems and projects, technology has been central to my work.

I’ve also been a small business owner for many years, so I understand the responsibility of keeping things running and making thoughtful decisions about where to spend time and money. Those experiences have taught me to look closely, explain clearly, solve problems, and keep work organized.

Friendly Tech Guide brings that experience together to help homes and small businesses. I build and repair websites, help people work through technology problems, and provide guidance on staying safer online.

Curious about how AI can help you and your business? I can help you understand what it can do, where to be cautious, and how to use it for everyday tasks. For small business owners, that might mean drafting customer emails, organizing ideas, or creating a first draft of marketing content. We’ll start with what’s useful to you and take it at your pace.

My approach is simple: listen first, explain things in plain language, and pay attention to the details. You should feel comfortable asking questions and understand the work being done.

I serve Sarasota and Charlotte Counties in person, with remote help available beyond the local area. Website projects begin with a clear written quote so you know what to expect before work starts.
