Twin Peaks Geeks Knows All Things Apple

It is a quirky business name you most likely won't forget. Twin Peaks Geeks is a Hampton Bays-based business that specializes in instruction, repair and troubleshooting for Apple computers and phones.

Mike Avery and Cheryl Heller, who have owned the company for ten years, named the business after their former San Francisco neighborhood, Twin Peaks. Avery and Heller personally tutor the majority of their clients on all things Mac, including iPhones and iPads.  After running the business from home for several years, Heller and Avery opened the Geek Hampton store in 2007. Geek Hampton is located across from the Good Ground Cemetery.

Amy O'Donnell, Director of Operations for Twin Peaks, said the personal tutoring is an effective way to learn all the computer programs correctly from the start. She added that the client's range in age from children to seniors.

"It's a broad range of clients," said O'Donnell. "It's great to see someone in their late 80s with a computer for the first time, learning how to use it. It's a new world for them."

With the surge of popularity of Apple products in recent years, Twin Peaks has been busier than ever. With more than 20 years combined experience, the staff at Geek Hampton keeps clients updated through a company newsletter, Twitter posts, and, of course, a Facebook page. 

User tips and information sharing can help curb problems before they start.  (check out their tips and tricks page on their web site http://www.twinpeaksgeeks.com). A staff researcher keeps up-to-date on all the news associated with the technology used to run and enhance the Apple-users' computer experience.

Private tutoring is an extremely popular service provided through Geek Hampton. Students learn the basics, such as how to scan and print; utilize all the standard Apple programs; plus run additional comprehensive computer programs—all from the comfort of their home or office. 

Geek Hampton is also an approved Apple computer reseller so customers can buy a product and accessories directly from the store. (They do not sell iPhones) Plus, Twin Peaks has a staff designer who specializes in website design and development.

Twin Peaks services the entire East End. The contact number is 723-3660 and the store is open Monday through Saturday.
