My introduction to computers started when I met my wife 20+ years ago and her Dad had multiple computers set up with a BBS bulletin board in his bedroom. He would take me to the Computer Swap meets in Downtown Dallas once a month starting around 3AM because that’s when the best deals could be had. I decided to build my first computer right after Windows 95 came out and never looked back.

In the early days of the Internet (1995-1998) I spent the majority of my time learning about computers and more importantly how to break and fix them.

In 1998 I started doing tech support for a major computer company and still work for the same company 15 years later. As I moved in to management roles later in my carrer I stayed on Technical Contracts and up to date with the latest technology and continued to be that guy who could help friends and family with their computers.

A little over 7 years ago I returned to Texas and moved to Cedar Creek Area to help take care of my father in law due to health concerns. When I had returned he was known as the "Computer Guy" @ Big Daddy's and was still working on Computers at that time. Just over 4 years ago his health got the better of him and he was forced to give up his passion for computers and electronics.

For the next couple of years I did work for his long term customers and last year decided to take a leap of faith and open a shop on the weekends out at Big Daddy's. September 2015 was 3 years and the customer base I have built up has far exceeded my expectations.

Rest assured when you do business with Chris Barr being quick, efficient and friendly is what the Computer Shop is all about.
