About

Who you’ll be working with

VeaSec is a local, owner-operated business in the Coachella Valley. When you call, you reach me, and I’m the one who does the work. No call centers and no hand-offs.

I work in technology professionally, and I also hold hands-on certifications in ethical hacking: I was tested on breaking into computers, networks, and websites with permission. Knowing how attacks work helps me defend against them, and I use that to help people and families here in the valley stay safer online.

My promises to you

  • I will never contact you out of the blue about a problem with your computer.
  • I will never ask you to pay with gift cards, wire transfers, or cryptocurrency.

Scammers often pretend to be tech support. If anyone claiming to be VeaSec breaks one of these promises, it isn’t me. Hang up and call (760) 454-7951.
