About
As a kid, Josiah was always trying to fix everything, usually making it worse. Sometimes he just wanted to see how something worked, so he’d take it apart and quickly discover that it actually didn’t work… at least… not anymore.
He received a Radio Shack electronics snap kit for Christmas around the age of 8 or 10 and started reading about what resistors, capacitors, transistors, etc. were, and how they worked. Now it was time to make something cool. Turn signals for his bicycle! That project took a few years to come to fruition, but it started with custom building a flasher circuit and learning to solder.
Fast forward to his late teens and he had already repaired Xbox 360 controllers and all those clocks he broke as a kid. But now it was time to get a phone. It was an Iphone 5S which needed a screen. That went well, but then he thought, “I can fix this identical phone with a bad battery.” But he put a long screw where a short screw should have been (AKA “long screw damage”) and broke a few traces on the first layer of the circuit board. So he watched tons of Youtube videos and bought a Hakko microsoldering station and microscope. Amazingly, he actually managed to repair his mistake. But it cost him over $1000.
He moved on to car repair for a few years and learned how to weld and even more about electronics diagnostics.
During that time he wanted a graphics card upgrade for PC gaming. He bought a broken GTX 1080 Ti and… completely destroyed it. He then bought a few other graphics cards and had a few successes, slowly turning into more and more, plus learning a ton in the process.
At that point, he could apply his knowledge to pretty much any electronic device, which led to game console, laptop, and other repairs as a business.
Now he strives to honor God in his work, and personal life, while treating customers fairly and honestly.
