A self-proclaimed ‘big ol’ geek,’ Matt has always been drawn to the excitement and potential of the IT industry. After years of being the go-to ‘IT guy’ in his previous roles, he decided to take it to the next level and turn his passion into a profession.<\/p>\n

With a lifelong passion for technology, gaming, and building his own PCs\u2014even dabbling in game development\u2014Matt has built a strong foundation in the tech world. Now, he’s diving into AI and home automation, always eager to explore the next big thing.<\/p>\n

When Matt isn’t geeking out over technology, he’s likely out spearfishing, learning about history and archaeology, or whipping something up in the kitchen! <\/p>\n

What our customers say about Matt<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n

Huge thanks to Matt for his professional, kind and hugely helpful attitude when he came to help me with my laptop.
\nI wouldn\u2019t hesitate to ask for him again, purely because of his patient attitude and more than happy to \u201cdumb things down\u201d for me to understand what the problem was – Caf Brownlee<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\n

Matt from Geeks on Wheels was very professional, friendly and helpful. He patiently answered our many questions in layman’s terms, and provided comprehensive tuition on using our new computer. We look forward to using his services again – Anne Marie Baun<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\n

This has been my first experience contacting GEEKS for help. Matt came primarily to set up a new printer and also for help on how to use an iPhone back up device that I bought online and to buy a back up disc that Matt was able to provide – and one that is so extraordinarily better than the one I lost somehow during my recent shift from Blenheim. Not only was Matt fully competent but he has a great personality and I would trust him at every level. It is also brilliant that he lives in Richmond so there is not the long travel from Nelson. Geeks is fortunate to have such a reliable and trustworthy staff member. I will recommend him whenever I can. I am just so grateful to him for all the help he gave me this morning – Liz Griffiths<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":18371,"template":"","location":[590],"class_list":["post-18370","technician","type-technician","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","location-nelson"],"yoast_head":"\nMatt A - Geeks on Wheels<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/geeksonwheels.co.nz\/technician\/matt-a\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Matt A - Geeks on Wheels\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"A self-proclaimed ‘big ol’ geek,’ Matt has always been drawn to the excitement and potential of the IT industry.
