Ed Troxell
Hi, I’m Ed Troxell, a tech expert with 15+ years of experience helping people like you make technology "Stupid Easy®️."
During my time at the Apple Store, I worked directly with customers to set up their devices, learn how to use them, and even led workshops to help people feel more comfortable with technology.
I know firsthand how overwhelming tech can be, especially when it constantly changes. That’s why I’m here—to provide patient, one-on-one support that helps you feel confident and in control of your devices in no time.
