Whether it's a broken printer connection, a suspicious virus alert, an older PC that's due for an upgrade, or a computer that simply refuses to cooperate, I'll get you back on track without all the stress.

About Me

I'm Rein, the owner and technician behind pchelpathome.co.nz. I've been working with personal computers since their introduction in the 1980s, and through supporting friends and family, I realized many people only scratch the surface of what their PCs can do. By guiding users on tasks like emailing, internet browsing, digital photo management, and document creation, I've seen first hand how a little personal support can boost confidence and turn frustration into genuine enjoyment.

Over the last five decades, I've worked in the computer departments of major Dutch companies and later served as an Information Technology Manager after immigrating to New Zealand. In this role, I led the Information Technology Department, shaping strategies to maximize and improve the company's technology. However, after thirty years in the corporate world, I found my true passion in helping seniors and home users get the most from their PCs. I look forward to sharing my experience and supporting you on your computer journey.
