About MacCentric Solutions

We’ve provided Macintosh support for over 100 Bay Area clients, including print, web, and 3D design firms, architects, consultants, financial service providers, non-profits, schools, are ready to help you. Whether it’s drafting a technology plan, caretaking your Mac servers, or fixing your workstation bugs, we have the skills to figure out which ones you need.
To prove it, we’ll put our money where our mouths are and give you an initial consultation for free. If rebooting the thing still doesn’t work, call now!
MacCentric Solutions used to be a member of the Better Business Bureau, but dropped it because it seems like a scam. However, we still uphold the Bureau’s professed standards of fairness, honesty, and professionalism, which frankly helps us sleep easier than just paying someone an annual membership fee. You know what I mean?
Mac Daddy
Noam Birnbaum, MacCentric’s El Presidente and all-around nice guy, is the firm’s founding Partner. He has helped hundreds of companies and thousands of users get a smidgen closer to their goals through the use of technology, focusing on the integration of Apple technologies since 1993. Noam is an Apple Certified Technology Coordinator, and has a BA from Oberlin College, and a MA and a MFA from a place he’s too embarrassed to name. He has taught classes in literature and history, was part of a stand-up comedy troupe, and has too many unfinished book manuscripts sitting on his hard drive to talk about. Actually, if he can’t make jokes about it, he’d rather change the subject entirely. He hates this picture but he doesn’t know enough about computers to change it, and is too much of a wuss to fire the web designer. Hey, shut up.
Professionally Smart Guy
Steve Favarger, MacCentric Solutions’ newest Partner & CTO, is a transplanted surly New Englander, which makes him an excellent Surly Systems Administrator. Educated at Northwestern University and at taxpayers’ expense at Southern Connecticut State university, he does what many liberal arts degrees do: computer systems integration, with style. There is a connection. He has been in the consulting field since 1994, sporting his managerial ponytail all the while, installing cross-platform infrastructures for clients all over the U.S. Having run a firm during the Internet bubble in Boston, then taking the show on the road to Los Angeles, he now enjoys the balmy climes of the Island City of Alameda. If you can’t see his photo here, it’s because in his spare time he likes to turn invisible.
Ringmaster
Nicole Tatem, our Ringmaster extraordinaire, comes to us with her BA in Radio, Film and Television Production and a minor in Photography from University of North Texas, and an AA in Visual Communications from Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising. She has worked in the videogame industry, which makes beating her at anything nearly impossible, and has designed gorgeous decorative glass windows, which has nothing to do with the IT world, to which we say, “Brava!”
Nicole enjoys spear-fishing giant Antarctic squid in her spare time. While riding a motorcycle. And singing portions of La Boheme.Mac Magician
You know Rick Cohen is getting serious about Mac OS X Server when he trims his beard.DNS Tamer
Michael McGirr is from a place where people are bred real smart-like. We can’t get customers to stop liking him, but we’re trying, purely for the benefit of science.
In The Clutch Smartiepants
Don’t hate Scot Federman because he’s a Red Socks fan.
Mac Biker
Cory Logan doesn’t remember his motorcycle crash. But it sure was a great excuse to get a new one.
