ABOUT US
We were born and raised in Harbor Springs, graduated together from Harbor Springs High School, and now split our time between Ann Arbor classrooms at the University of Michigan and the docks and storefronts we've known since childhood.
From Harbor Springs to Harbor Tech
Every summer job and after-school shift scooping ice cream on Main Street, caddying at the club, delivering groceries from the IGA, showed us how much local businesses mean to this town. When we heard that an outside tech firm was upselling complicated systems and locking neighbors into contracts designed to fail, we decided Harbor Springs deserved better.
Thus Harbor Tech Consulting was born with a simple goal: make modern technology approachable, affordable, and easy. We recommend only what a shop truly needs and stand behind transparent, no-surprise pricing.
Technical Depth
Studying robotics, computer science, business, data analytics, and policy at the University of Michigan
Local Insight
Harbor Springs natives with intimate knowledge of local business needs
Because we're studying robotics, computer science, business, data analytics, and policy at the University of Michigan, we have the technical depth to install rock-solid networks, secure point-of-sale systems, and future-proof cloud backups. Supplementary to high education, we have deep local insight to tailor those tools to a clothing store on East Main just as readily as to a Restaurant on State street.
