Merriman PC Repair was started by Vincent Merriman in late 2013 after years of fixing computers on the side for friends, acquaintances, and family using his accumulated knowledge of computers; developed through a love of gaming and writing software as a hobby. It was founded to help people repair their computers at a more reasonable cost than big box stores, and also to provide what we feel to be
more honest and thorough service. Eventually, upon acquiring additional talent and skills, "Merriman PC Repair" transformed into "Merriman IT" in order to represent our expanded offerings. We currently consist of two full-time employees, Vincent and Eric, who's combined knowledge covers a wide variety of computing subjects. Both of their knowledge is mainly derived from long-standing fascinations and hands-on experience with computers, schooling, and past work experience. Eric moved from his hometown of Corpus Christi for a change of scenery around 2013; he visited Austin frequently to see friends and found himself not wanting to leave. Prior to moving away, he spent a very enjoyable three years working as a Windows IT Admin for a refining turnaround and construction company named Repcon, Inc. He has since fallen in love with all the things Austin has to offer in comparison. Vincent was attending computer science courses at ACC around the time when he and Eric met over similar interests. Being interested in collaborating as he saw Vincent's client base steadily growing, Eric joined on to help. Merriman IT has since become their full-time commitment, and is now a respected and well-reviewed business located in South Austin.
