About Robbie

Robbie Pence

has over 10 years of experience working as a technician/trainer for major companies around the world.

He is happily married with two children.

Are you a parent too, and want technology advice? Check out this article I wrote.

Trueflame Tech

was started when Robbie found a severe lack of compassion and education for the average technology user.

He's here to fix that.

Curious about my personal technology?

Here's what I use, and have used, over the years!
