National Computer-Support Franchisor "Geeks On Call" Expands to Cincinnati

In the latest stage of its national expansion, Geeks On Call has opened three Franchises in Cincinnati . Each of these new franchises is owned by Robert White, a high-tech expert with over 23 years of experience. Offering mobile, personalized services reminiscent of a small-town physician from yesteryear, White and his staff of Geek technicians drive their signature PT Cruisers to deliver a wide range of rapid-response, on-site computer support to homes and businesses throughout Cincinnati and its surroundings.

During his lengthy career in the information-technology industry, White has worked for several high-profile companies. He spent nearly 10 years with the Timex Corporation, serving in three different managerial roles before being promoted to Director of Information Technology. Next, he joined footwear manufacturer Stride Rite as its Senior Vice President and Chief Information Officer. More recently he served as the Vice President and Chief Information Officer for Helix Technology Corporation, a semiconductor capital equipment manufacturer.

Although his appearance bears little resemblance to a stereotypical frail, scrawny computer geek, White doesn’t mind slipping on a pair of “geek glasses” (complete with masking tape between the lenses) to elicit smiles from his customers. After all, he considers customer service to be of the utmost importance.

“When people hear the name ‘Geeks On Call,’ they should feel comforted,” said White. “I want us to be the modern version of a small-town physician who makes a special trip to your home or office to give you individual attention.”
