Andy Trask knows what it’s like to be called a Computer Geek. With more than ten years experience making house calls to perform computer repair services, and as the owner of Mansfield-based Stickynote Tech Services, he proudly refers to himself as a Computer Geek in his advertising, on his Facebook (News - Alert) page, and in person. Before he became known as a Computer Geek, it was his passion for playing trombone in his high school band that first earned him the title of geek.

Trask today released his plans to donate a portion of 2012 service revenue, as well as voluntary donations from customers, to the Mansfield Band Parents Association in support of the Mansfield Public Schools award-winning Music Programs.

“Back in the seventies, being called a geek wasn’t exactly a compliment. It was pretty much a slur reserved for the musicians and the brainiacs,” said Trask. “The good news however, is that those days are over, and today, being a geek is really pretty cool.”

Trask, the Band Geek turned Computer Geek has turned Band Geek once again, volunteering to play trombone with the Mansfield High School Jazz Band alongside his sons and as a Band Parent, helping out as a volunteer with other music programs including the 2012 World Championship silver medalist Mansfield High School Percussion Ensemble.

“I see what these kids can do, and I see how many of them apply to, and get accepted into, prestigious schools like Berklee College of Music, and I can’t help but feel a certain pride in the quality of the Mansfield Schools music programs,” he said.

Starting May 1st, 2012 through to December 31st, 2012, Stickynote Tech Services will donate one percent of the total revenue to the Mansfield Band Parents Association. Stickynote customers will have the option of adding a voluntary contribution to their bill, 100 percent of which will be passed through to the Mansfield Band Parents Association to support music in Mansfield Schools.

Stickynote Tech Services is a local provider of in-home computer installation, recovery, and repair services, wired and wireless network installation and troubleshooting services, and general personal technology services.
