HISTORY
The idea for the development of Computer Medics of America®, Inc. was conceptualized early in 1997 by John Francis while living in the Seattle/Tacoma area of Washington State where he performed on-site service calls in his off hours from his "real job". In July of 1999 he moved to Eagle River, Alaska and formed Computer Medics which he operated full-time. That company served the Anchorage, Eagle River and Mat-Su Valley Communities.

By November, 2001, the business was booming beyond what a single unit could handle. With knowledge gained from past experiences in hiring and supervising employees, John made the decision that the business would be best served by a network of self-employed technicians rather than hiring and supervising numerous employees. The company began studying the idea of selling Franchises in the areas already being served in Alaska. In order to expand, some major changes needed to be made. The Company was incorporated under the name Computer Medics of America®, Inc., and in late 2002 the process of marketing the business nationally began. John still owns and operates the Eagle River Franchise where he lives with his wife and children.

Once Franchises began to take hold in Alaska the expansion into the rest of the United States and further was just natural. We are currently in the process of marketing & selling franchises throughout the United States and Canada. It is an exciting new franchise family that we hope many people will consider joining.

Although we are a Nationwide Company, each Franchise is marketed as a small local area business rather than a part of a large Nationwide Company. Many studies show that people are feeling less satisfied with the services provided by large companies. A small local business that provides superior service builds a reputation in their community quickly. The smaller the community, the more likely customers are going to keep their money locally.

We pride ourselves in our involvement in our local communities with various organizations through contributions of time, money and reduced rates to Non-Profit Organizations such as Churches, Community Centers, Schools, Youth Sports Associations, etc.

We encourage all of our Franchise owners to become active members of their respective communities and to make contributions from the business to various community organizations. We must always remember that the people in our communities are not only our customers but our neighbors and friends and that although we want our businesses to prosper, it is also our responsiblity as citizens of our local communities to help to make them a better place to live.
