A Testimonial for GadgetSOS


“As a young, female business owner, I have relied on the professional technology services of GadgetSOS for over 2 years. Gregg (GadgetSOS) has helped me set up cameras, an alarm, computers & printers for my PR firm, and he effortlessly transitioned me from a PC to a Mac. In a field where it is difficult to find good people that won’t take advantage of you, Gadget SOS has been a true blessing. Gregg is always on time, affordable, courteous & goes the extra mile. From revamping the sound system in my home to setting up my entire office, I rely on GadgetSOS for all my technology needs, and I can’t recommend him highly enough. I’d be lost without him!” – Jens List member
