Advanced Millennium Computers

My obsession with technology started early. I built my first computer when I was 12 and earned my A+ certification at age 13 in 1998. By age 15, I founded my IT firm, Advanced Millennium Computers, in 2000. Decades later, I still run this company, providing St. Pete businesses with dependable local IT support, server infrastructure, backup planning, and CCNA-certified routing administration.

Tampa Bay Business Phones

In 2020, I started Tampa Bay Business Phones to help local offices transition from outdated key systems to modern, cloud-hosted communications. We deploy custom hosted PBX VoIP networks supporting remote work, cell phone extensions, and automated SMS triggers to capture reviews on autopilot. If your business phone setup is a bottleneck, I fix it.

HowToGetLeadsTampaBay

I founded HowToGetLeads to offer high-performance websites and digital marketing that actually work. Unlike bloated, slow templates run by typical marketing salespeople, I code clean, static Astro sites optimized for 100/100 Google PageSpeed scores. Fast sites, combined with custom local SEO schemas and CRM integrations, help double your booked estimates without the contract traps.

qrcodejs.com

I recently launched qrcodejs.com to serve as a fast, fully client-side tool for generating custom QR codes instantly. By leveraging modern web APIs, the generator processes code generation in-browser, ensuring zero-latency renders and complete data privacy for local marketing campaigns.
