About Me

My name is Michael Totten, and I founded Totten Computers on a simple principle: local expertise paired with honest service. I’ve been what you might call a computer enthusiast since I was 11 years old, first learning to program the Commodore 64 and never looking back. I earned my Computer Science degree in 2004, giving me the foundational knowledge to truly understand systems from the ground up.

I’ve spent more than two decades immersed in technology, with the last 21 years dedicated to solving problems right here in the South Bend area. My professional background includes:

  • 12 Years in Local Computer Repair: Mastering the hands-on diagnostics and component-level repairs that others often miss.

  • 9+ Years as an IT Specialist for a Local Private School (Ongoing): Managing a complex, large-scale network, which honed my skills in enterprise-level solutions.

During my time as an IT Specialist, I personally designed and managed major infrastructure projects, including overhauling an entire network to UniFi, building a central server, implementing a comprehensive security system, and maintaining hundreds of devices. This diverse, high-level experience ensures that whether I’m building your custom gaming PC or consulting on your small business network, I’m bringing enterprise-grade standards to your project.

I started Totten Computers because I saw people being overcharged and underserviced. My commitment is to leverage this technical expertise to benefit you directly, providing personalized solutions without the high costs or confusing jargon. When you work with Totten Computers, you get direct access to a proven, local expert dedicated to your technology success.
