Your Neighbor, Your Tech Support

I'm Andrew "Dru" Edwards — a Peoria native who believes everyone deserves reliable, affordable IT support without the runaround.

Why I Started Edwards Tech Innovation

I've spent years watching people overpay for tech support that doesn't care about them. Big box stores that upsell services you don't need. Call centers where you're just a ticket number. "Geek" services that make you feel stupid for asking basic questions.

I started Edwards Tech Innovation because I believe there's a better way. When you call me, you get me— not a random technician who's never seen your setup before. I remember your devices, your preferences, and your comfort level with technology.

Whether you're a retiree who needs help setting up a new tablet, a busy family trying to keep everyone's devices running, or a small business owner who needs a reliable IT partner — I'm here for you. No contracts, no pressure, no judgment.

What I Stand For

People First

Technology exists to serve people, not the other way around. Every solution starts with understanding your needs.

Honest & Transparent

No hidden fees, no unnecessary upsells. If I can't fix it, you don't pay. Plain and simple.

Keep It Simple

I explain things in plain English. No jargon, no condescension — just clear answers and real solutions.

Do It Right

I take the time to do things properly. Quick fixes create bigger problems — I focus on lasting solutions.
