With the new site update, I would like to bring in a few client testimonials so you can read what others thought of my services. I have sent out requests for testimonials from some of my clients, both new and old, and will post them as I receive replies.

Contract Writer at TrainSignal, Inc. (2009 – Present)

Kasia Lorenc
Website Manager

Mike has been creating quality content for our blog, Train Signal Training, for over a year. He’s knowledgeable and very passionate about what he does. He’s always looking for ways to improve and does an excellent job on all of his projects. The best thing about Mike is that he’s very easy and enjoyable to work with. He has a positive attitude, good work ethic, and is consistent and reliable.

Remote Support Technician and Server Administrator at Space Systems Integration, LLC (2011 to Present)

Tobin Anthony, Ph.D.
SVP and CTO
Space Systems Integration, LLC

Mike and his team are a superb technical resource. He was able to remotely access my server and set up a new VPN service with very little hand holding from me. He understood what I wanted and very quickly developed and implemented a solution. I highly recommend Mike and his team for their technical abilities as well as the easy-going working relationship they establish with their clients.

Computer Technician at Del Rey Chiropractic (Ongoing)

Dr. Gary Campanaro
Chiropractor
Del Rey Chiropractic

This letter is in regards to Mike Rodriguez who has been my computer technician for a couple of years. Mr. Rodriguez has always been there for us when we had computer problems that needed to be solved. He has always been available, and made the time to take care of us, no matter the day and time. He does excellent work on our computers and is a great diagnostician. He can easily find problems and come up with solutions in a fast and efficient manner.

Mike is truly fair in his pricing and goes out of his way to provide unbeatable customer service. For many, this is just a platitude or goal to achieve, but for Mike and his company, he consistently over-delivers. Being in the medical field, our computers our indispensable for insurance billing and all aspects of running an efficient office. This is why I would highly recommend Mike and AlisalTech for all your computer needs.

IT Marketing and Social Media Consultant at the Social Work Tech Blog (2011)

Ignacio Pacheco, MSW
Editor
Social Work Tech Blog

I run a small website dedicated to helping social workers understand technology (socialworktechblog.com) and wanted to figure out a direction to take my site. Met with Mike at a comfortable location in downtown Salinas for a consultation where he was generous with his time and provided me with valuable information. Mike's advice was very easy to understand (he met me where my comprehension was at) and he presented himself as a very friendly and equally knowledgeable person. Mike is very well-versed on marketing strategies (e.g. SEO, page-ranking, etc.) and helped me to understand the value of the content I have been producing. I will be going back to Mike for more guidance, as he is worth it!

Web Designer (and web host) for TEDxYouth@Monterey (2011)

Aaron Eden
Co-Organizer
TEDxYouth@Monterey

Mike at Alisal Tech not only provided timely and capable service, but he proved dedicated and invaluable in troubleshooting and resolving some critical issues for us.
I recommend his services highly.

Bob Cole
Co-Organizer
TEDxYouth@Monterey

I want to extend a special thank you for your help over the past few months with our project. We could have easily gone with a mega website hosting company, but had we done so we would never have met you. I'd like to think that our connection with AlisalTech will be a lasting one that will be mutually beneficial. You took a bit of a leap in offering in-kind hosting and developer services - Aaron and I and the rest of the organizing team greatly appreciate you for your willingness to work with us, especially in the face of malicious code attacks!

Our team is already looking ahead to 2012 and we would welcome the possibility of continuing our work with you and AlisalTech.

Web Designer for Susana’s Jewelry (2011)

Susana Lopez
Owner and Jewelry Designer
Susana’s Jewelry

I decided this year to start my jewelry business, and knew that I had to have a website, because this would allow customers to see all of my creations. The idea of having to create and manage my own website was overwhelming. Fortunately, I found AlisalTech, and after talking with Mike, I knew that he was the person that could make my idea come true. From the beginning, Mike has been very attentive to me by answering all my questions in a way that I am able to understand.

What truly was amazing was all I had to do was express to Mike my ideas, and I was truly amazed as to how quickly my website was created. The finished product was beyond what I had imagined. I love my new website, and am very happy that I chose AlisalTech.

Volunteer Computer Technician at Alisal High School (2004)

Pat McNeill
Technology Coordinator, Science and Technology Teacher
Alisal High School

Michael volunteered to help with computer repair and refurbishment at Alisal High School in the Fall of 2004. His activities included erasing computer hard drives and installing new operating systems, cannibalizing broken computers for useable drives, power supplies, and CD drives and installing them to build working computers. He is a very capable worker and a cheerful volunteer. I would certainly consider him for many tech related jobs.

Volunteer Computer Lab Assistant and Library Assistant at Bardin Elementary School (2007)

Robert Wright
Renaissance Place Coordinator
Bardin Elementary School

Michael has been working with me in the Bardin Computer Lab. He has assisted me with the various Renaissance Place programs. […] Michael solved a number of troubleshooting problems. […] I interviewed him and asked him computer related questions. He was able to answer all questions correctly. […] Michael has a very pleasing personality. Easy to work with.

Other Testimonials

Sheila Smith (2012) – “Mike responds quickly and instills confidence. He speaks the language of non-experts and seems to be as capable as anyone I’ve ever run into–without making me feel stupid or slow, even though I’m not very tech savvy. Besides that, he’s a really nice guy and a pleasure to do business with. I would trust him with any level of problem–from working with those who know only a little to those who have complicated systems to manage. As with everything, if the person is a good communicator, you’re so much more likely to have success, and Mike is good at listening and explaining. Or if you don’t care to know, he’ll just do what you need to have happen.”

Jesus Valdez (2011) – “Mike is very reliable and trustworthy, ensuring that his clients are always satisfied! His knowledge and ability to communicate via new-era methods of social networking make Mike my go-to guy! I have been very satisfied with the computer work that he has done for me and appreciate the questions that he has answered for me as well! Lets not forget his very competitive prices! I highly recommend Mike for any tech job!”

Victorino Ontiveros (2011) – “this guy knows whats up fixed my computer no problems”

Lachlan Archibald (2007) – “Mike is an asset to any professional website, as he is always able to provide support, scripts and apply his programming knowledge in various languages to suit any occasion. We have worked together on many occasions as partners running ShadowThief and the GrungeMedia Networks. Mike is an extremely trustworthy, efficient and enterprising worker, and is definitely worth picking up for any trade.”

Vijay Francis (2007) – “Mike provides an excellent web hosting service with exceptional rates and support.”

Andrea Blalock (2007) – “I’ve seen his site from the beginning, to its success now. Mike is really on top of keeping [his site] in tip top condition.”

Steve Rovell, Science Department, Alisal High School (2006) – “The thing about Mike that impresses me the most, though, is his computer skill. On campus, I’m known as one of the teachers who uses technology the most. If Mike were a teacher, he’d put me to shame. That’s how knowledgeable Mike is. This knowledge isn’t just general computer knowledge, though. Mike can program, he has artistic abilities which he uses in webpage design, and he understands the inner workings of the computer, Windows, Linux and even Macintosh. To put it simply, I wish I had half the skills Mike has in terms of technology. This man has superior knowledge; he is smart and learns very quickly.”
