About Good Neighbor Tech
A local, insured tech assistant for North Whatcom County, started by a good neighbor, dedicated to other good neighbors.
Hi, I'm Jonny.
I'm your local tech expert, here to help any Neighbor in Whatcom County. I particularly serve seniors and individuals with disabilities to ensure that their experience with tech service is dignified and reassuring.
Why I started Good Neighbor Tech
I started Good Neighbor Tech because I recognized a gap in the service provided, particularly with services provided to our North Whatcom County Neighbors. Neighbors furthest from town are often outside of the service zone, they absorb the biggest bills, and the service can feel a little impersonal (and it shouldn't!). Up north, getting help can mean a long drive to a store counter, a trip fee, or a different technician every time.
Everyone deserves dignified tech help in an age where we are swarmed with new software, new technologies, bigger risks, AI confusion, and more. Amidst all that, I will sit beside you, work with you at your own pace, and write down what we did before I leave to ensure that you have a record for next time. Nobody should EVER be made to feel silly for asking questions about technology.

The goal is a more food-resilient Whatcom County, with more of what we grow staying on our own tables.
A little about me
I grew up believing that a good community is one where people take care of each other by taking the extra step, and that's what I've tried to do here in Whatcom County. From Kiwanis service projects to Meals on Wheels to helping out at the Lynden Community Center, I enjoy lending a hand and being reliable to those in need.
In my free time I make music and enjoy adventuring around the different cities and seeing what's happening inside and out. North Whatcom County has small-town warmth, big mountain views, and people who still say hello to strangers. I'm proud to call it home, and I'm proud to have good neighbors.
Let's get you sorted out.
