Over more than 18 years, we have worked with hundreds of clients, in all types of businesses, from Portland's biggest ad agencies to the Oregon Lottery, from medical researchers to the Bicycle Transportation Alliance, from major law firms to solo architects. They all have one thing in common:

They all use Apples™.

"I met Rick shortly after starting a job at an office where Macs were being used. I came from a PC background and was a bit apprehensive about learning a new system. My employer purchased all new computers and Rick was very patient and understanding of the situation. He set up a user friendly network....He never seemed to be too busy to answer my questions, even when I called him several times a day. He has continued to be our number one source when we have questions or situations arise that need his expertise."

Ruth Siroshton, Executive Assistant, Eugene, Oregon

Brightstone is an important resource for my business.  From building our office computer network to being on-call for any and all computer problems, Brightstone has been invaluable. During the January snowstorm they even worked with me over the phone when I was working from home.  I highly recommend Brightstone to all who use Mac computers.

Marilyn Petrequin, Petrequin College Consulting, LL

"Speed and reliability are the top things. How fast they can get to the problem, and how well they can handle it. If a computer goes down, especially if it's urgent and we need them, Brightstone is able to help right away."

Kirsten Johnson, Conkling Fiskum and McCormick

"I showed Brightstone the server I thought I needed. They recommended a different server that would provide more room for growth.

Thankfully I listened, because if I'd gone with the first one, I would have outgrown it in a year. That's not just planning. That's foresight into true business needs."

Mike Thornschmidt, Print Accel

"We wouldn't be able to function if our tools weren't working. Having Brightstone is like having a team of expert handymen at the ready. They keep our tools working, which keeps us working."

Christie Davidson, Electro Arts

"We were looking for an 'Apple guru' to help with servers and systems, and were happy to find Brightstone. They're very customer service oriented. They always listen to what we're trying to accomplish, and they're phenomenal about getting back to us and helping with our needs."

Carla White, Jennifer Black & Associates

"We found Brightstone after searching for a Mac specialist to assist us with our network issues and to make us more efficient...

...it was a breath of fresh air to speak with someone who was trustworthy, non-judgmental, hardworking and incredible at  their job."

"If you are looking for a company to help you with your Mac issues/networks/computer purchasing recommendations, etc.,Brightstone is the place to go.

They are down to earth, affordable and extremely knowledgeable.  We have never regretted spending the money to get the right help...."

"The best consulting for Mac shops, large or small. I'm a web designer so, obviously, computers, connectivity, and state-of-the-art design tools are a must.

They have kept my shop up and running for nearly 10 years -- hardware, software, OS, all of it. They are really knowledgeable and VERY responsive.

Rick stays ahead of the curve, meaning he knows what's trendy, as compared to what's real.... He will not steer you wrong."

Ted Olson, Mile 7 Design

"Rick is the kind of guy you've always wanted to be your Mac support tech. He's smart, not just about hardware and software, but about making good business decisions for his clients. He is very well versed in all things Mac, and takes it upon himself to constantly learn. But most of all, he's straight-up honest. He won't give you half-truths and poorly researched information. That's worth everything."

Josh Spivey, Web Designer, Nemo Design

"Brightstone has seen our company through ten years of change and growth. Their expert services and down-to-earth advice have helped us meet our day-to-day technology needs, survive the occasional crisis, and plan for the future. They understand what we're trying to do and how to help us do it."

Catherine Ciarlo, Executive Director, Bicycle Transportation Alliance

"I have had several experiences with Brightstone and all have been wonderful -- the best in town if you own a Mac. They are easy to work with -- kept me updated on the status of the situation -- and resolved problems in a timely manner. Great place!"

Susan Neumann, home user

"As a Mac expert in our predominantly PC-user environment, Rick has had the foresight to predict problems before they arise, troubleshoot effectively, and has been incredibly flexible when I'm in crisis mode.

He also keeps our IT folks in the loop, so it's a seamless interaction. I enjoy working with Rick so much, I've utilized his services in my last two jobs. If I move again, you'd better believe, I'm bringing Rick with me!"

Darci Weber, Graphic Designer, Johnstone Supply

"We have enjoyed a friendly working relationship with Brightstone for over six years.... they have worked around our schedule for maintenance.

They have been a valuable resource and sounding board.... One thing I enjoy about Rick is his sense of humor. He is a very positive/upbeat person."

Don Bradley, Graphic Design and Public Relations, Multnomah County Library
