About "Us"

From "Gigs to Gigabytes"! Rick Trager brings over 20 years of diverse experience to TragerMedia. Before diving into the tech world, he spent two decades as a professional trombonist, touring globally with renowned groups such as Buddy Rich, The Four Tops, The Temptations, Taboo Combo, and many Broadway productions.

This unique background, combined with his current role in wireless communications at Northwell Health, enriches his practical problem-solving skills for TragerMedia clients. Outside of tech, Rick is an avid scuba diver, inline skater, hiker, camper, and kayaker, sharing a deep love for animals and the great outdoors.

Your Personal Computer Guru
When it comes to your technology, Rick's commitment to excellence shines through. He goes above and beyond to provide honest opinions, clear options, and tailored solutions, always standing firmly by his work. Unlike impersonal big-box stores, Rick strives to build a trusting, long-term relationship – much like you would with a trusted family doctor or mechanic. He ensures you understand your choices and helps you decide on the best course of action.

While Rick personally handles the vast majority of client projects, the occasional use of "we" or "us" reflects TragerMedia's collaborative spirit. Rick leverages a network of trusted professional partners for specialized projects such as graphic design, web design, or network/MS Exchange administration, ensuring comprehensive solutions when needed.
