Brandy Herbert Email & Phone Number

Pine, Co

Working with a startup company to provide computer repair, services, on-site support and capacity planning to individuals and businesses in the Denver Foothills/Mountain areas west of Denver. We work on all hardware (PC's/MAC's/smartphones/networks) and provide on-site service when requested. Still playing music, but working with a technical services startup helps me keep my tech skills up, and I love working in the service business with individuals and small businesses.
