Apple-Certified Tech Support · Charlotte, NC

Former Apple Genius.
Now at your door.

Friendly, Apple-certified help for your Mac, iPhone, iPad, Wi-Fi, and everything that plugs into them. In-home across Charlotte or remote from anywhere. No jargon. No upsells. Just tech that works.

The only Apple expert you'll need in Charlotte.

Real Apple Retail and corporate experience — not a weekend certification.

Why Dacus Tech exists

Most computer-repair shops in Charlotte are Windows-first technicians who fumble on Macs. Most "Apple experts" you find on the internet have never worked inside an Apple Store. I've done both — five years at Apple Retail and corporate, tens of thousands of customer interactions, and every Apple certification that matters.

I started Dacus Tech so that Charlotte homes, seniors, small businesses, and creative pros could get the same patient, knowledgeable service you'd get at an Apple Store — without the 90-minute wait and without anyone trying to sell you a new computer when your current one just needs a little help.

I come to your kitchen table, your home office, or your studio. Or we handle it in 20 minutes on a screen share. Whatever works for you.

What I help with

The short version: if it has an Apple logo, I can fix, set up, or teach you how to use it.

Slow Macs, failing drives, won't-boot, battery swaps, keyboard issues, macOS problems. Genuine Apple diagnostics.

iPhone & iPad Support

Setup, transfers, storage headaches, iCloud confusion, family sharing, screen time, backup and recovery.

New Device Setup

Unbox, set up, transfer from the old device, get you signed in everywhere, and actually show you how to use it.

Wi-Fi & Home Network

Dead zones fixed, mesh networks, smart-home setup, printers that finally work with every device in the house.
