R.J. Howard Computing was founded as a sole proprietorship in 1997 in San Diego, California for the purpose of providing affordable, competent web design, hardware, software and network support to the small business and non-profit communities.

A true consultant looks out for the needs of his client and puts their needs ahead of his own. In other words, he has a fiduciary* relationship with his client.
Many salespeople today wrongly call themselves “product consultants“ or “sales consultants“. Do not be confused by this. You cannot be a salesperson and a consultant at the same time.
A salesman‘s job is to get you to spend as much as possible. A consultant‘s job is to help you get the most “bang for the buck“ (in other words, to spend as little as possible and still get the job done).
Whom would you rather have advising you?
We are consultants in the true sense of the word, not salespeople.
How may we help you and your business?
