Andy Espo • Mac Guy

In 1988, while running a successful event production company, Andy Espo realized his business’ need for a computer system. “At that time, the only choices available were DOS and Mac,” commented Andy, “It was a pretty easy decision!” With experience in professional audio, video, theatrical lighting and scenery, Andy was determined to add the automation of his own business to his technical repertoire. As his company grew, so too did his reputation for knowing Macs. In 1998, Andy transitioned out of event production and into being the full-time, “Mac Guy”. Now in its 13th year, Call Andy! Macintosh Consulting retains an array of clients in the business, public relations, marketing, architecture, advertising and design sectors. Andy is an Apple Consultants Network member, and is an ACN Advisory Council Member Emeritus. Contact Andy »

Max Buxton • Systems Engineer

Max Buxton has been a full time Macintosh consultant for over fifteen years. Before working as a consultant, Max honed his troubleshooting skills working as a software tester and application engineer for computer software development companies. Upon realizing he enjoyed working with end users as much as the technology, he transitioned to system administration, supporting groups of users and refining his “consulting” chops. In the late 1990′s, Max decided to become an independent consultant and concentrate on what he enjoys most: helping Macintosh users get the most out of their systems. He’s been a certified member of the Apple Consultants Network since 2003. He’s been a peer, colleague and friend of Andy for much of that time, and has finally been persuaded to join the Call Andy! team. Max is excited to apply his experience in systems, networking, training and general good humor to the Call Andy! brand. Contact Max »
