About

Meet Craig, your local IT specialist in Menifee.

No call center, no rotating technicians, no ticket-number runaround. Simon Says Systems is me, and I built it to do right by the businesses in my own community.

My story

35 years in IT. Cybersecurity since 2003.

I’ve spent over 35 years working in IT and have focused on cybersecurity since 2003. Over that time I learned where small businesses get let down: generic IT shops that don’t really know the software you run on, and national help desks that treat a down office like just another ticket.

So I started Simon Says Systems to be the opposite: a local specialist who knows your software, takes data protection seriously, and is local enough to show up in person when you need it. That started with dental and medical practices, and now covers CPA, insurance and law offices too.

What working with me is like

You get me, not a queue.

One person who knows you

You’re not re-explaining your setup to a new technician every time. I know your business and your systems.

Remote-first, locally backed

Based in Menifee. Most fixes are fast and remote, and I can come to you across SW Riverside County when something needs hands-on.

Honest about scope

Business-hours, local support. Not a pretend 24/7 national footprint. I’ll always tell you straight what I do and don’t cover.

Local roots

Part of the same community I serve.

I live and work in Menifee, and I’m a proud member of the Menifee Valley Chamber of Commerce. Staying local isn’t a tagline. It’s why I can be at your office in person when you need it, and why your reputation and mine are tied to doing this right.

I serve small businesses across SW Riverside County, and go especially deep with regulated offices like CPA, insurance, dental and medical. Same local support, with their compliance handled.

What our motto actually means

Two pillars. Everything we do fits one or both.

Stay Connected

Networks that work. Your apps, files, email and line-of-business software up and responsive, not crawling at 3pm on a Friday when everyone needs them at once. The network, the cabling, the closet, and the connection to the software you run on: the plumbing of your office, designed once and done right.

Stay Secure

Email that’s safe from impersonation. Your business and client data protected with encryption, access control, and EDR. Backups that actually restore. Practical security, plus the compliance controls (HIPAA, FTC Safeguards) for the offices that answer to a regulator, without making you learn the acronyms.

Let’s talk about your business.
