Who We Are...
Peter's interest in tech-support began as a geology student at UC Berkeley, where he worked primarily on digital mapping and real-time GPS data collection. He taught digital field mapping to Berkeley undergrad's, as well as worked at the Space Sciences Center as a mapping specialist and systems support analyst.
After graduating, his interests focused on computing and tech-support full time. He began by working with several companies in Berkeley, California (Stillwater Sciences and Technicon). A year later, Peter moved to New Zealand where he worked as an IT Specialist at an animation studio (Ra Productions), supporting a group of animators focused on making nature documentaries and animated shorts for television (Animal Planet and Discovery Channel). In 2002, Peter returned to academia as an IT Consultant at the University of Otago, Dunedin, New Zealand.
Upon returning to California in 2005, minus a short jaunt to India, he started Tech-Tonics and began full time free-lance tech-support and web development in Marin County.
