May 13, 2006 - Peachtree City, GA – Go ahead, call Peachtree City resident Tom Langley a geek. He won’t mind. In fact, he’ll probably give you a proud smile. That’s because he just launched the first Geeks On Call franchise in the area. As the company’s name implies, Langley is a mobile computer geek who delivers a wide range of computer services to homes and businesses throughout Peachtree City and its neighboring cities. And yes, he also has a very geeky car: the signature blue PT Cruiser driven by all Geeks On Call technicians in America.

Langley holds a B.S. in electrical engineering from the University of Texas at Arlington. In addition, he has earned several prestigious computer credentials, including an MCP (Microsoft Certified Professional), CCNA (Cisco Certified Network Associate), a Novell certification, and a CompTIA A+.

Langley began his high-tech career as a computer-design engineer, a position he held for over 12 years. With substantial experience in hand, he then started his own company, which produced microprocessor-control modules. A few years later he rejoined the corporate world as a technical-support engineer for a computer firm, but before long the urge to be his own boss re-emerged and he founded a computer-consulting business. After switching tracks a couple of years later, Langley enjoyed a five-year stay with an information-technology company that designed and serviced computer networks.

“I’ve spent nearly 30 years working with computers and high-tech equipment,” Langley noted. “And during that time I’ve just about seen it all. And because of all my experience, I’m able to fix problems right the first time. My customers find that comforting, especially small or home-based businesses.”

Geeks On Call is the leading independent provider of on-site computer services for homes and businesses, and has been named the #1 new franchise company in the United States according to Entrepreneur Magazine (January 2006 issue).

The services delivered by Geeks On Call include installations of hardware and wireless networks, computer privacy and security solutions, troubleshooting, repairs, consulting, and upgrades. The company’s certified, trained, and tested technicians drive Chrysler PT Cruisers adorned with the Geeks On Call logo and toll-free phone number (1-800-905-GEEK).

Founded in 1999, Geeks On Call began franchising in 2001 and today has over 300 franchises operating nationwide. For more information, visit www.geeksoncall.com.
