Alexander Holcomb Email & Phone Number

I started learning electronic technology after watching the movie hackers at a very young age. At 8 years old I started taking apart an expensive work computer my mom's job paid for. I would unplug, remove or disable different hardware peripherals and learn the errors, or the changes in the configuration and logs when I started it back up. This taught me the greatest lesson in my foundation, which was structuring how to troubleshoot any problem wrong with the hardware of a computer, and how to discover without question what it was having problems. This was a great lesson because it molded my brains ability to work in "if its not this then its this" function... So programming and software development was naturally the next step in my learning. I started working with Visual Basic and learning the importance of UI, and the concept of end-user functionality and it's importance both cosmetically, and how to conceptualize over all function... Then started making websites, making databases, and flash web page solutions.. I was around 14. I had also began to mod video games, model objects and hack graphic engines to create new games. I did this until about 27, this taught me a great deal in graphic design and 3d modeling as the games we created needed objects to play with. At 18, I started Quality PC. A computer sales company at first, created because the market for computer sales in the industry was remarkably high, At that age I was building my own computers. It was far cheaper then buying a name brand computer. I could build them at a fraction of the price, ordering parts from wholesalers after listing made to order advertisements on various web pages, and advertising locally. Also doing remote desktop repair for many people, word spread quickly that I "fix anything for cheap." I don't believe in charging outrageous prices for work so. I explain why the problem began. It's important a customer is confident you've done a good job.
