Hello,

I run a computer shop and offer data recovery services- many of which I am not capable of performing by myself with the skills and tools I have. I have been a "partner" (if that's what you call it) with Drivesavers for 5 years and through this partnership, my bottom line has not increased at all and most of my customers run when they get the quote. Thus, I am here looking to form new long term relationships with the professionals in this community and to also educate my skills in data recovery.

While I do not doubt the capabilities of Ontrack/Drivesavers, I have found that the main reason our customers come to us, is because their data is not worth the high premiums they charge. My main goal here is to reduce my costs, so I don't lose these clients. I seek to network with competent and trustworthy people and what better place to start than an open forum of industry professionals that all know each other! While it is true that I lean more to the business side of things, I also have a genuine interest in learning this mysterious craft. I would like to meet someone in my area to work with and also learn from.

I also enjoy long walks on the beach... (Just kidding). I would like to meet all of you and if you feel you have a special skill or promotion, feel free to solicit my inbox. I am welcoming you to "spam" me all you want. I have many jobs and I need to know who to send them to.

Cheers,
Al
