My Life...
  I was born and raised my entire life in Utah. I went to Bella Vista Elementary, Butler Middle School and then graduated from Brighton High School in 1998. While in our senior years in high school, I met Rachel McBride over the internet (she says Yahoo!, I say MSN). We dated until the end of that summer and then kept in touch every so often after that. Worked two jobs for a while (Zuka Juice & Blockbuster). In December 1999, my half-sister Jessica passed away to cancer. In mid-2000, I turned to drugs to escape reality of her death. After getting into trouble with the law, twice, I made my way through counseling and especially the courts. Ever since 2003, I have not touched my drug of choice, and strive to make it through life.

On the night of my 22nd birthday (2002), I met Tristyn. She later became my friend and then also taught me what she knew in the world of computers. I began to read, research and teach myself where she had left off. In 2004, while repairing a co-workers computer, I got the idea that repairing computers is what I could do as a side job to earn extra money. So I started a very small side business, "tech-tonics.com". While working upon the tech-tonics.com website, I began to understand the language of HTML (Hyper Text Markup Language).

I have worked for Ream's (2000-2001), Quizno's (2001) and then ended up at Food 4 Less (2001-2006). (Long story short) In 2003, I was transferred to another store location and worked at that location (even though the name of the store had been changed to Super Saver) until 2006.

In the later part of 2006, Rachel and I started talking more. After a short period, I asked her back out and later, I proposed to her ... all within a month. On September 2nd, 2006, we eloped in Las Vegas, Nevada. After giving my two weeks and ending business/financial ties in Salt Lake, I finally moved down to St. George, Utah in October (one month after we were married).

In December of 2006, Rachel and I discovered that we would be the parents of twin girls. In January 2007, had an accident at my job. While out of work for a while, I finally registered "tech-tonics.com" as an official business in February 2007. In May 2007, my sister and I were flown out to San Francisco, CA, so I could have surgery to correct any problems from my accident [Yes, I am all better and healed]. Then on July 26th, 2007, Rachel gave birth to the two most beautiful girls in the world.

In October of 2007, I started repairing iPods and business has really picked up! Then in March 2008, I changed the business name to "iStGeorge". Something shorter and easier to remember. In June of 2009, I rented a little space from another business owner and moved in so that I could have a store front location so I can really get my business name out there. And then at the first of 2010, I changed the business name once again... "Dixie Tech Guy". The reason I decided to change it is because the family and I had to move out to Hurricane, Utah and iStGeorge just didn't sound right where I would be living and where I would be doing business.

That is the short version of my life up to this point...
