// About

IT expertise in Florida,
Tennessee, and Oklahoma.

Proudly headquartered in St. Augustine since 1991. Long enough to have seen most of it before, and small enough that you will know the name of whoever picks up the phone.

And everywhere in between

// The team

The people who answer.

Jerry "Mountain Man" Ray

Jerry "Mountain Man" Ray

Founder & CEO · GM, Eastern Tennessee

Jerry started The Computer Doctors in April 1991 and has been at it ever since, which makes him the longest-running fixture in the group and the reason any of the rest of this exists. He is an analyst, consultant, developer, troubleshooter, and designer, and he is at his best working out why something that should obviously work does not. He is unhurried by temperament and deeply suspicious of complexity for its own sake — four systems doing the job of one is somebody's commission, not an architecture. What he genuinely enjoys is helping a business put practices in place that keep it running smoothly long after he has left the room.

Billing & Customer Service Manager

Shelli runs billing and customer service across both SummitRidge Technology and The Computer Doctors. She is the person who can tell you what an invoice actually covers, why a renewal landed when it did, and what a line item means in plain language — and she would far rather you asked than sat on it wondering. For most clients she is the first voice they hear and the last word on getting something resolved, which is exactly the right person to have in that seat.

// In memoriam

Larry Squire

Larry Squire

In Memoriam — General Manager

Larry is in heaven today and we miss him every single day. He was the heart and humor of The Computer Doctors — the one who made every customer feel at home the moment they walked through the door. Yeah. Archie Bunker's home. His wit, his warmth, and his legendary \"Grump\" persona were absolutely priceless. His \"Two Geeks and a Grump\" slogan and his hilarious radio ads became part of the fabric of who we are. Larry was Jerry's partner and a cornerstone of this company from nearly the very beginning. His legacy lives on in the culture, the values, and the spirit of this team.

// Values

Four words we intend to keep.

Commitment

We treat every client's business as if it were our own — always going beyond the expected to make sure things work.

Innovation

We stay ahead of technology trends so our clients always have access to the best solutions, not just the familiar ones.

Reputation

Since 1991, our reputation has been built one satisfied client at a time. We earn trust through consistent action, not words.

Excellence

We hold ourselves to the highest standards in everything we do — from technical execution to the way we answer the phone.

// What we operate by

Three Laws. Three North Stars.

Shared with every RidgeLine company. Truth outranks everything, we surface problems before you have to ask, and nobody gets made to feel small for not knowing something. The North Stars — Reliability, Competence, Fairness — are how trust gets earned in the first place.
