Some people chase degrees. I chased what felt real. Halfway through a Computer Science degree, I realized my passion wasn’t sitting behind a desk writing algorithms—it was getting my hands dirty, solving real-world problems, and building something of my own. That’s when I walked away from university and started The Handy Geeks.
For me, this business was never just about tools or trades—it’s about people, reliability, and the pride in delivering a job done right. I started with nothing but a toolkit and a reputation to build. Today, we’ve become a trusted name in maintenance and construction services, and I still bring the same energy to every project, big or small.
My background in tech hasn’t gone to waste—it’s helped me digitize our operations, streamline quoting and job management, and modernize how a traditional business can run. I believe in systems, simplicity, and sweat. And I believe that leadership means being the first one on site and the last one out. Whether I’m coordinating our team, speaking to a client, or wiring up a smart doorbell, I’m still that same guy who decided that building something real was worth more than a diploma.
