What clients are saying...

“One of the people in my life who increases my sense of thankfulness is Rick. He helps me without being impatient when I get stuck with technology. His skills far exceed mine, and he is good at guiding my understanding of cyberconcepts. While our relationship is strictly professional, I consider him my best friend when it comes to situations with Apple that are beyond my scope.”

— Sally J.

The Story

Rick Stawarz is the Founder and Lead Trainer at Macinstructor, which specializes in teaching individuals and small businesses across Alabama how to get the most from their Apple technology. Prior to starting Macinstructor two and a half years ago, Rick spent five years working at Apple, both at the flagship store in Chicago and the Birmingham store. At Apple Rick trained staff and customers, and he's answered nearly every question about the Mac, iPhone, and iPad.

After repeatedly being asked if people could take him home with them, Rick decided to start Macinstructor. Rick, along with his team of three former Apple employees, now serves over 180 households and small businesses in Birmingham. Whether it's organizing your photos, managing documents on the iPad, editing your next full-feature film, or just finding the iMac's power button, the Macinstructor team is here for you.
