About Us
TECHCONECT is a 501c(3) non-profit organization dedicated to helping senior citizens understand and use new and emerging digital technologies. Our focus is on areas like assistive living, communication, and entertainment. Bruce & Mike, the founders, are seniors themselves and professionals in other fields. They're technology users, not experts, which helps them engage their peers using everyday language rather that tech jargon. They believe that technology can significantly improve lives as people age in place and should be used towards that goal.
The Need For TechConect
In today’s rapidly evolving digital landscape, technology plays a vital role in enhancing the quality of life, fostering communication, and enabling access to critical resources. However, for many senior citizens, understanding and adopting new and emerging technologies can be challenging, creating a significant barrier to fully engaging in the benefits of modern digital tools. TECHCONECT addresses this gap by empowering seniors with the knowledge and confidence to use digital technologies in meaningful ways. Whether it’s connecting with loved ones, managing healthcare, or exploring new forms of entertainment, our service bridges the digital divide with tailored, accessible support. By using relatable language and focusing on practical applications, we ensure technology becomes an asset for aging in place, rather than an obstacle. As society becomes increasingly reliant on digital platforms, the demand for a service like TECHCONECT continues to grow, providing an essential lifeline for seniors seeking to maintain independence, stay informed, and engage with the world around them.

Testimonials
TechConect hosted an incredibly informative, engaging, and downright fun workshop for our seniors here at Opportunity Towers I & II ! Bruce & Mike, the amazing Digital Navigators, were exceptional at connecting with our residents, breaking down technology in ways that were easy to understand and exciting to explore. Their approachable style and genuine care for the residents made the experience not only educational but also empowering. Our community is already looking forward to their next visit!
K. Trawick, Service Coordinator
​“Today, everything is “smart” - phones, TVs, musical players, entire rooms! Its overwhelming. The “TechConect” services are a godsend for senior citizens like me who are far behind the steep curve of hi tech development. So when I got word of a local service created, especially, for helping senior citizens with using the latest technologies, I had to look into it.
It turned out to be a “game changer” for me. “TechConect” staff helped me clear up my mobile phone confusion. Then, at a “TechConect” seminar, I watched the patient and expert ways that they helped other seniors. After that, I was moved to become a financial patron of this most worthy resource.”

"TechConect has been an invaluable partner in our mission
at Patina to deliver a better healthcare and aging experience for older adults, which includes using technology to connect and engage with them. Their tailored training sessions have
greatly improved our clients' understanding and comfort with
the telehealth format, showing how easy it is to access care and
empowering them to take charge of their health. Bruce and
Mike’s approachable and engaging style makes technology feel less intimidating and helps us demonstrate how simple it is to interact with our care team. We couldn’t recommend them
more highly!"
