About Us

In the not-so-distant past, in Crofton, Maryland, our founder embarked on a journey to build his first computer. To his surprise, it worked perfectly! But soon after, the computer refused to start. Frustrated, he turned to a local repair shop for help.

The experience was dreadful. The staff were condescending, the fees were exorbitant, and they even mocked him for bringing the power cable along with the computer tower. As it turned out, the problem was just a loose cable!

This disheartening encounter revealed a significant gap in the IT services industry: the need for an IT company that prioritizes exceptional customer service. This realization led to the birth of CHEAPER THAN A GEEK®️ (CTAG). Our founder started the company in his living room, fueled by a passion for delivering outstanding customer service.

At CTAG, every aspect of our business revolves around the customer experience. Mr. Barber reimagined IT support from the ground up. Instead of pushing typical, profit-driven solutions, we adopt a "keeping it simple" approach, always prioritizing our customers' best interests. This straightforward yet rare methodology in the IT support space quickly set CTAG apart. Our high client retention rate is a testament to this philosophy: treat people with respect, and they will remain loyal.

Today, more than two decades later, CHEAPER THAN A GEEK®️ has won more customer service awards than any other IT provider in Maryland. Our mission is clear and our success is evident. Mission accomplished!
