Once legal, Nathan Cinal took the first flight down to Tampa, Florida from small town South Bend, Indiana, to feel the warm weather, take pleasure in Tampa’s Skate Parks, and study next to palm trees. Nate was able to study Philosophy at the University of South Florida by combining his means of financial income and hobby; working as a Genius at Tampa’s Apple retail store.
To remind himself of the snow Nate relocated to the windy city, Chicago. This permitted him to gain a year of experience in 2008 and grow in the IT world as the technical support for the University of Chicago’s Urban Education Institute. What Nate didn’t learn was that Tampa, and the year of the Ox, 2009, had an alternative plan for him; return to Tampa. His youthful age, amusing personality, and credible certifications supports his reputation the friendly, son-you-alwayswanted, expert Macintosh IT Consultant. Nathan now works as an independent Apple consultant for CORE Training & Consulting in Tampa, FL.

My interest in computers began at the ripe age of ten. This is when I received my first PC and immediately began taking it apart to upgrade and replace components. After years of being the "go to kid" for Windows issues and countless hours in my friends basement in the early years of the internet I got my first taste of an Apple computer. Towards my senior year of high school I had the chance to use Adobe Premiere to edit video footage. This led to me purchasing the first 867MHz 12" PowerBook for college. While in college I honed my Unix skills and eventually became a Genius for the Apple store at International Plaza in Tampa, Florida. After years working behind the Genius Bar I took a position as an IT Technician at the University of Chicago. My time in Chicago came to an end when I almost froze to death in August. I moved back to Tampa to join a startup Macintosh repair company. I eventually started CORE Training & Consulting in Tampa, Florida which offers onsite consulting for Macintosh based businesses in the Tampa Bay area.
My unique background of Windows and Mac experience coupled with my love of all things technical allows me to provide the best solutions for my clients.
