I help you use technology more effectively, giving you the confidence to do more, be more, and explore more of the world that today’s technology makes available to us all.

Hi! I’m Leo Notenboom
I’ve been playing with tech since I first touched a punch card in 1976. I spent 18 years at Microsoft, where I saw the sausage being made — I even made some of it myself! Since 2003, I’ve been using that experience and my love of technology to answer your tech questions here at Ask Leo!.
Frustrated by technology? Afraid to go online? Feeling left behind as your kids out-pace you in today’s digital revolution? Looking for a dose of sanity, clarity, and straight talk?
You’ve come to the right place.
