Community Service

In addition to helping friends and family with their computers I also like to volunteer my time and expertise to non-profits. I have a standard discount  of only $80 per hour for non-profits. In addition to this I also have volunteered my services for free to Urban Harvest and for a very modest fee to The Yoga Teachers Association of Houston.
