Get CTRL is all about helping people Get Control of their technology.

We understand that today is the age of Technology. We can send messages, photos, videos, etc... to anyone in the world in a few minutes. We can stay intouch with family and friends. We can play today, plan for tomorrow and remember our past. Get CTRL was created by Clint Evans, to get the word out there that Technology is something to be embrassed, not feared.

Get CTRL is not in this for the money, but rather the passion of sharing information and getting everyone up to date with technology. We have online programs, walking you through computers, step by step. We have fun exercises that are, although simple, very effective in assisting you through your comfort stage. Our Field reports are for those of you who like watching people in the field of IT hard at work. There is always something new to learn. We are on this earth for a short time, so we need to make the most of it.

In 2009 this Website was launched from a small two story Flat in Wellington, New Zealand. Reaching out to the residence of New Zealand and to the rest of the world. We don't have over-heads or massive expenses which makes it easy for us to offer the online programs to you for free. The only cost, is your time and willingness to learn something new. Embrase Technology, never fear IT!

"Hey Guys,
Before reading on about me, I just want to warmly extend my "digital hand" and shake yours! I am so glad to see people like you reaching out for assistance with "those darn computers". Taking this step and leaving behind your old negative beliefs is sooooo rewarding. I can't wait to receive emails from you with your success stories!" - Clint Evans

Most of us remember our childhoods, the running, the climbing and the playing. Clint spent his childhood developing a curiosity for Computers that was only satisfied with: Try this, see what happens, see what works. Being able to type before ever holding a pen gave him the advantage of knowing that "People control computers" and not the other way around. Clint started tutoring people much older than him at the early age of 11. This has taught him patience and understanding. There are many tutors and programs on the Internet and around town. What makes Clint different is the heart he puts into everything he commits to.

"I love learning new things as peoples' needs and their computers upgrade. I look forward to the frustration of computers not working, only because this presents me with another problem I could solve" - Clint Evans

After finishing High School, Clint left his family and his loved ones behind to travel to New Zealand. New Zealand brought with it new understanding on how people worked. After a 7 years in New Zealand, Get CTRL was born. Before Get CTRL, Clint was working as a PC Technician, then in a retail store, selling Computers. This was not enough. After work, he would travel to customers' houses to install systems, repair problems, and teach customers how to use their new computers.

After 6 years in Whangarei, Clint travelled down to the Capital of New Zealand, where he currently resides and works as an IT Specialist, servicing Schools, Businesses and home users.

"Everyday is different you know, like the problems get easier and easier to explain to Clients. I often smile when I see the expressions on client's faces as they realise how easy Computers can been. It's very satisfyng for me. Get CTRL is great because it helps me reach out to people all over the world, slowly making a difference, one person at a time"

Clint's spare time is used relaxing and enjoy a life of Technology. Emails on the go means less time sitting infront of a PC. Automated calendar updates means work is nicely seperated from play.

"My next step is to travel around Wellington, at first, providing fund-raising courses for some of my schools. Teaching and helping our Schools grow their IT budget, is like a double whammy for me"
