Solving the Disconnect

In the height of the 2020 Pandemic, many people found themselves feeling disconnected from the people they love most. This disconnect became the opportunity of a lifetime for a local tech expert.

The Colonel and his wife lived in separate sections of the nursing home. The pandemic wasn't the only disconnect between the two- the Colonel's wife had memory loss. The reality of this local long-distance relationship with his wife plagued him. One afternoon, the Colonel called a friend of his, "the digital handyman", to find him a solution. The handyman spent all afternoon setting up iPads for the Colonel and his wife, so they could facetime during the day.

The Colonel's hero is CJ Flynn, the owner and operator of Technically Easier.

Reliable, Local Assistance

While CJ might not wear a knight's armor, he is the master of tune-ups, tweaks, and data transfers. His mission is simple: provide accessible, reliable, and local tech assistance services. He breaks down what he does into easy-to-understand facts and steps, to teach others how to best conquer their tech problems.

Beyond the technical fixes, CJ is a fixture of the Cedar Rapids and Hiawatha community. When he isn't serving on the Hiawatha City Council or supporting the Czech Heritage Foundation, he is likely hosting 'technology hour' at a local nursing home, or teaching classes about tech problems.

In the early days of his internet services career, he noticed that the help people really needed wasn't available to them. Issues with printers, phones, password resets were outside of what local internet companies were able to help with. One day, CJ decided it was time to fill that void. What if technology had its own version of a handyman? Someone who could assist with the problems people have in their own homes.

Happy Accidents

CJ treats every glitch with a patient, Bob Ross-inspired demeanor, turning 'happy little computer accidents' into learning moments. His love of history, and community service makes him uniquely equipped for assisting with those who find modern technology more frustrating than functional.

For the Colonel, that iPad wasn't just a piece of glass and silicon; it was a window back to the woman he loved. CJ Flynn doesn’t just connect printers or reset passwords- he mends the gaps that distance or aging can create. In an era where technology can often feel cold and isolating, CJ uses it to build bridges. Whether he’s serving on the City Council or helping a neighbor navigate a "happy little accident," his work ensures that in Cedar Rapids and Hiawatha, no one has to feel disconnected.
