As the official business support entity for Rogers Park, RPBA has been the driving heartbeat but growth and leadership in Rogers Park for decades now. I've had a business in the area for 12 years and having gotten to know the organization, staff and programs, I can safely say that I wish I'd known of organization when I first opened.

I'm not a total techno-phobe but as a senior, I am definitely in need of Chris's ability to meet me where I am. We have worked on organizing files and folders, saving my photos, clearing out old passwords and other security issues, and more. We're not done yet but we're getting there! Chris always sends a summary of what we accomplished and a to-do list for in between sessions, should you so desire. Although my intention is to do my "homework," TBH, I rarely get much done in between visits. Chris never makes me feel foolish or lazy! Also, know that you don't need to have several sessions. It really depends on how much you need to do and how much you can do on your own. Truly, if you have tech needs from a compassionate and focused perspective, Chris is your person!
