Computers were a backup plan for Giovanni Humphrey, whose first love was football. When he got sidelined with an injury playing college football his senior year, he says he got more serious about staying current with technology.

Growing up in Sarasota’s Newtown community, Humphrey says, he had a Compaq Presario his mother bought him. When it got a virus, they went to Best Buy and got it fixed, but after that, he recalls, he had to figure out how to make repairs on his own.
