No Autographs please!
Here is the story and picture from the local paper, I just walked in and told them I was starting my own business and would they run a story on me. They actually run stories (called focus on local business') every week, so I wasn't doing anything new.
I have edited it as it gives out far too much information, more than I would like to share with some people on here anyway!
Seaside Solutions: Meeting Your Computer Needs
BY: Kate ****
Staff Writer
Patrick *****, a native of Blackpool, England has brought his vast knowledge and experience with computers to Pleasure Island and has opened Seaside Solutions to assist you with any computer problems (hardware and software) you may be facing.
He can assist you in a variety of ways from installing printers, scanners, or other hardware, installing software, setting up networks, to helping you when your computer won’t turn on and any other difficulty you may encounter when dealing with your computer.
Patrick, who spent 12 years in the British Army (Royal Signals) as a telecom operator received his BA in electronics engineering from the University of Central Lancashire, which is located in Preston, England.
He spent three years at Nokia in Cambridge, England prior to moving to **** Beach, North Carolina in February 2003 with his wife Ellen. At Nokia, Patrick was a software test engineer where he performed a variety of tasks from configuring components, traveling and installing software, upgrading and updating software to setting up wireless networks on both laptops and desktops. Patrick also has experience in writing software and worked for a Point of Sale (P.O.S) company while in college.
Patrick has experience working with Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows 2000, Windows XP and Windows ME. "Nokia was the test site for Windows XP and I worked on it a year before it was released," Stated Patrick. "I can work on PC’s, although I don’t have experience working with Mac’s."
"I received my first computer in 1980 – the BBC sponsored computers in the schools. That is where my love of computers started," stated Patrick.
"Computers are a powerful tool – the Internet is a powerful tool. Many people only use a small amount of the capabilities of their computer – I enjoy helping them find ways to use more of their computers. I enjoy working with people and I love working with computers."
"My wife (who is originally from New Hampshire) worked for PPD in England and was transferred to the Worldwide Corporate Headquarters in Wilmington," stated Patrick, who lives in **** Beach, NC.
"The first time we set foot on the island we knew we were going to live here. I adore it, I really do! I am very lucky to have the neighbors and friends that I’ve met here. I like everything about living here!"
If you have been having problems with any part of your computer, then give Patrick ***** of Seaside Solutions a call.
He can be reached by phone at (9**) ***-**** or by email at *******@*******.
