Howdy!  My name is Michael J. Cermak, Jr.  I’m better known on the Internet as TechGuy.  I currently reside in Chambersburg, Pennsylvania with my beautiful wife, Heather.


BUSINESS

I’m a full-time computer nerd.  I own and operate Tech Support Guy, where a large community of volunteers provide free help with computer problems.  It’s been mentioned in several publications, including Money Magazine, Computer Shopper, and PC World.  I also appear on the Computer America radio show every month.

I own a small computer consultation company, CermakTech, that provides networking and computer service for businesses in the Waynesboro and Chambersburg, PA area.  I’m involved in a handful of local organizations, including the Rotary Club of Waynesboro.  I’m currently the president of the Greater Waynesboro Chamber of Commerce.


PERSONAL

I sometimes take a break from sitting in front of a computer by taking to the skies.  I am a partial owner of a Cessna 172 based in Hagerstown, MD (KHGR) and enjoy flying for that $100 hamburger.  My other vehicle is a 2006 Toyota Prius.

I’ve had several eye surgeries, retinal detachments, and other excitement due to a genetic disorder called Stickler Syndrome.


EDUCATION

I earned a Bachelors of Information Sciences and Technologies (IST), Systems Development Option from Penn State University in May 2005.  I earned an Associates of Information Sciences and Technologies (IST), Networking Option from Penn State University in May 2002.

I am currently working on my Masters in Computer Science by attending classes at Shippensburg University.

I hold several computer certifications, including CompTIA A+, Network+, and i-Net+ as well as Microsoft Certified Professional (MCP) in a handful of operating systems.
