Tampa Computer Geek Lives The American Dream
|
Tampa, FL - February 24, 2005 - When 16 year-old Rosa Ortiz emigrated from El Salvador in the mid-1980s, she knew it wouldn't be easy to start over in America; she spoke little English, lived modestly, and was uncertain about what her future held beyond her teenage years. Twenty years later, she is living the American dream as the co-owner of a new franchise with Geeks On Call®, America's premier provider of on-site, mobile computer services. Driving a special blue Chrysler PT Cruiser that has been affectionately named a "PC Cruiser" as a play on words, Ortiz hand-delivers a vast assortment of essential computer services to homes and businesses in Tampa's northern suburbs. Along with co-owning the franchise and co-managing its business dealings, Ortiz also works as its mobile computer technician. She has an innate mastery and passion for modern computer technologies, supplemented by an AS in Computer Science with a focus in Microsoft networking from Southwest Florida College and the A+ and Net+ computer certifications. In addition, she is currently working toward earning the prestigious MCSE (Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer). Indeed she feels fortunate not only to work with computers on a daily basis, but also to live the American dream of becoming a self-made, independent success. Geeks On Call® is the high-tech equivalent of a physician who makes house calls. Everything the mobile Geek technicians need to complete their tasks is nestled inside their signature "PC Cruisers" that are emblazoned with Geeks On Call's® logo and toll-free phone number. Prior to Geeks On Call®, people often lost substantial time and money while waiting for their computer problems to be fixed by the in-store technicians at a local repair shop or electronics retailer. Not only have the Geeks' prompt, reliable services found success with residential customers, but also with small-to-medium-sized businesses that cannot afford the enormous expense of hiring full-time IT personnel. Founded in 1999, Geeks On Call® initially served Hampton Roads, Va, where it experienced immediate success. In early 2001, Geeks On Call® began franchising its concept, and now it has 304 franchises located in 18 states throughout the U.S. (plus the District of Columbia). Geeks On Call® franchises are independently owned and operated. ©Geeks On Call America, Inc. Source:geeksoncall.com |
