Carey Holzman is a veteran PC repair technician, author, and content creator known for showing everyday users how to build and maintain PCs the right way. He got his start in the 1980s tinkering with TRS‑80s, Atari systems, and early IBM‑compatible PCs, eventually turning that curiosity into a full‑time repair business and a long‑running presence in the tech community.
Carey co‑authored The Healthy PC: Preventive Care and Home Remedies for Your Computer, served as a co‑host on the nationally syndicated Computer America radio show, and now runs a popular YouTube channel where he live‑streams PC builds, troubleshooting sessions, and practical advice for technicians and enthusiasts.
Carey Holzman joins me to trace his journey from TRS‑80s and dishwashers to building one of the best‑known PC repair channels on YouTube. We dig into staying solo, dealing with “since you’re here” clients, navigating Windows updates, and why remote access changed everything for small IT shops.
