PEBMAC currently consists of J. Charles Holt and Melissa Ollila. Both have spent far too many hours not only working with Macs, but trying—and failing—to bring the OS X UNIX kernel to its knees.

J. Charles Holt—Charles most recently held the title of Assistant (to the) Creative Director at a strategic marketing firm, but everyone knew him as “the IT guy." He earned some spare cash in high school repairing Commodore Amiga computers, and his love affair with the Mac began in college when he first played with Photoshop. Charles is an Apple Certified Support Professional, an Apple Sales Professional, and a member of the Apple Consultants Network. You can read his nerd resume here.

Melissa Ollila—Melissa, an Apple Certified Support Professional, began her obsession with technology with her first computer, a Commodore 64, and her first gaming console, an Atari 2600. These days, she enjoys poking around with OS X's flavor of UNIX and answering questions on the Apple Discussion Forums. Her first exposure to the Mac went from "I like my PC—that's dumb" to "I must have one of these glorious machines" in about five seconds. She regrets any offense this may cause Bill Gates.You can read her nerd resume here.

What our clients are saying:

"You two are the Mensa of Mac Techs." —Bob Carmichael, Boulder

"We've been in business for almost seven years, and you guys have been hands down the best service we've paid for, no matter what, and we're in the service business . . . you did a great job, your process was great, and ultimately the product we have is amazing. It all works, and we couldn't be happier." —Sid Factor Seven, Boulder

"The team at PEBMAC is phenomenal! They came to my home—working within my hectic schedule—and while Charles was making my Mac laptop work wirelessly, Melissa was fixing my desktop PC riddled with viruses. They not only fixed everything, they went above and beyond by downloading better software, cleaning up preferences, etc. Arming me with the tools and training to troubleshoot future problems was huge, too. These guys are good!" —Kari C., Broomfield

"They not only boosted the speed on my old iMac, they gave me tips and tricks along the way. I fully recommend PEBMAC to anyone who uses Apple computers." —Bob B., Erie

"PEBMAC's training was excellent . . . their knowledge, patience, and skill definitely surpassed my expectations." —Robert T., Lafayette

"I'm up and running now. You truly are amazing!!!! Thanks." —Sonja F., Boulder

"You stopped me from doing an 'Office Space' on my computer, although smashing it with a hammer would have been quite exhilarating. Really appreciate the knowledge and support. I'm sure I'll be calling you in a few months after I break it again!" —Jeff H., Broomfield

"I would highly recommend PEBMAC as a resource for any Macintosh environment for business or personal IT solutions. (Charles) has proven himself to be not only solution oriented and resourceful, but reliable—a hard trait to find these days." —Kathy A., Lafayette

"Try PEBMAC!!! You'll like it. They helped me with everything from the obvious (too close for me to see) to the arcane (things I'd never see). And it was all stuff I REALLY NEEDED. I'm happy now." —Paul T., Albuquerque
