Owner's Message

We launched the orignal PC Paramedic on July 3rd 1995 in Dallas and made SaddleBrooke a second location for the business in the fall of 2002. We began by making service calls to SaddleBrooke residents, and, if a computer needed bench work, we did it in our garage, kitchen or any other flat surface in our house.  Linen closets were filled to the brim with Hard Drives, Motherboards, and CPU's. By the summer of 2004, the business had grown sufficiently that we were in dire need of both space and employees.

We opened the doors to the Computer Store in the SaddleBrooke Shopping Center on September 6, 2004.  In addition to service, the store has given us the opportunity to offer a wide variety of products as well as local, friendly support to our customers. As many of you know, we also reopened the SaddleBrooke Post Office, now known as Julie's Gift Post on September 1, 2006.

Where are they?
Although James and Julie originally spent most of their time in the store or making service calls, customers do not see them as much as they used to.  Julie does the much of the "behind the scenes" management (accounting, payroll, HR, inventory, etc) for both PC Paramedic and Julie's Gift Post, home of the SaddleBrooke Post Office.  James keeps the data center running smoothly, develops websites for individuals and businesses, and creates productivity tools for the company.  He is also a dedicated student of the latest technology and  coach for our outstanding team of technicians.
