Tulsa, Broken Arrow, Jenks, Bixby, Sand Springs, Sapulpa and Glenpool. A Local Nerd comes to your door, or helps remotely today when that's faster, and explains it as we go.
Pick a time, we come to your door, and you agree to the rate before we start. Remote help works too when that's faster.
In person from $110/hr. $39 books it, and the rest is charged when the work is done. Remote help $39 for 30 minutes. Card only, no cash or checks. You agree to the rate before we start.
Ask anything you like. We'll explain what we're doing while we do it.
Dead spots, a router in the wrong place, a network nobody can get onto. We fix the coverage first, before anybody tells you to buy faster internet.
The machine that takes four minutes to start, the file that vanished, the update that won't finish. We sort those out and set up a backup while we're there.
Streaming is confusing and there are too many apps. We'll get it working and leave you with something you can run without a manual.
If you want to understand it well enough to do it yourself next time, tell us when you book. That's our favorite kind of visit.
New phone and everything is in the wrong place. We move it all across, sort the photos out, and make it readable again.
Cameras you can pull up when you need them, a doorbell that rings the right phone, a thermostat that keeps its schedule. We set it up and explain it once.
Wireless printers are badly designed, and it isn't your fault. We'll get it printing and scanning and leave it that way.
Pop-ups, fake warnings, emails that want you to click. We'll clear it out and show you what to look for so the next one doesn't get you.
Tulsa's houses run from 1920s bungalows in midtown to new builds in south Bixby, and the tech problems follow the architecture. Plaster and lath in the older neighborhoods stops a Wi-Fi signal cold, which is why so many midtown houses have fast internet at the router and nothing usable in the back bedroom. Newer construction toward Jenks and Broken Arrow has plenty of signal and a dozen devices nobody has organized.
There's a large, active 55-plus community across midtown and south Tulsa, and we like this work: sitting down with somebody and going through it until it makes sense. If you want to learn to do it yourself next time, say so and we'll teach you as we go.

Somebody two states away is worried that Mom can't get the TV back to normal, or that Dad keeps getting locked out of his email. You can arrange it for them. Book the session or gift a membership and we'll handle it with them directly, at a time that suits.

It's our Tulsa number. It rings the same people as every other number we publish; we just think a local number should look local.
Remote help is $39 for a 30-minute session. In-person visits are $110 an hour within 25 miles of downtown Tulsa and $130 in the 25 to 50 mile band, and the higher rate is how we pay for the drive. Farther-out addresses are served remotely today, or by a drive from a neighboring Local Nerd. Type your ZIP when you book and you'll see the answer for your address. A $39 deposit books an in-person visit and the rest is charged after your Local Nerd finishes and you sign off on the work.

Yes. One-on-one help for older adults is work we like. We go at your pace, and we'll write the steps down for you to keep.
We do. Most of what people call broken is a setting, an update, an account or a connection, and we fix those. Screens, batteries, parts and data recovery from a failed drive are somebody else's job, and we'll tell you that up front.
What opens a market is a Local Nerd who knows the area, likes people, and is good at explaining things. Set your own availability, keep the majority of every booking, and help your neighbors. See what being the Local Nerd in Tulsa involves or apply here.
