Chris Collins, MCSE, CNA - Owner, Operations Manager, Computer Technician, Network Engineer

Chris started working with computers in the '70s, having developed an interest in BASIC programming on the original Commodore 64 and d128 platforms. His first tech job was programming NCR register terminals. Since then, he has worked in numerous mainframe and distributed computing environments, including IBM System3, System38, AS/400, Zilog Z8000, and Windows client/server networks. He received his first Novell networking certification in 1995 and has since become Microsoft and Brainbench certified. After teaching electronics, computer technology, networking, and certification prep for over a decade, he spent 12 years as the lead technician at a system integrator in Little Falls, NJ. In 2014, he founded CBC Technovations with a view toward providing affordable, innovative technology solutions backed by impeccable customer service. Supporting a range of customers from residential and SOHO users to small and mid-sized businesses, Chris brings a rare combination of tech savvy and people skills to his work.
