Hi, I'm Ryle Irwin. Welcome to my profile!


Ryle Irwin is an owner of several Geeks On Call® Franchises in Northern Virginia.  Mr. Irwin manages the operation of these franchises and contributes to his own success as a technician for his broad base of business clientele.  As he began his entrepreneurial venture, he leveraged more than 20 years of experience including corporate leadership, project management, network engineering, software development, business development and implementation of information technology projects for the government and private sector.  He received a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science from Ohio University in 1986.    His Geeks On Call® team provides technology support services for residential clients as well as a variety of small businesses such as realtors, accountants, medical professionals, attorneys, consultants, animal clinics, lawn and landscape companies, auto dealerships and endless other small businesses.   Mr. Irwin served as a founding member of the Franchise Advisory Council working closely with Geeks On Call® to further develop the success as the national brand for computer services brought to your doorstep.  “We are in a $300-billion-a-year market, where there is no national brand in this niche and I want to do everything I can to be the brand everyone knows and trusts.”   While Mr. Irwin has been expanding his Geeks On Call® clientele, he has not gone unnoticed.  Mr. Irwin is featured in numerous in media publications such as the September 2003 issue of Entrepreneur Magazine discussing his success achieved as an local franchise owner.    “Because computer technologies are so complex, there’s always a need for my services.”    In the October 2003 Computer User Magazine article, “Don’t do it yourself”, Mr. Irwin discusses the mistakes made when small business owners attempt to support their own computer technology needs.   “The biggest mistake I see is people trying to do it themselves.  They end up spending more time working on their computers than they do working with them.”
