Quietech Staff

  Melissa Hannebrink started with an interest in computers at a very young age, and it quickly became a passion.  She taught herself web programming at 12 years old out of a book, and from there started her computer business as her senior project in 1998.  In 2013, Melissa took over Quietech Associates from her father, Ben Hannebrink.  Melissa loves helping people and empowering them to make their way in this fast growing technological world.  

  Andrew has been in customer service and technology since 1998 but first had a PC in his sticky little hands at the ripe age of 5, in 1986.  He has worked as a manager at Staples, and has also worked at Best Buy. Now being at the Geek Boutique he is able to share his love for people, learning and computers while bringing the "big box" to a small town shop.  

Carson has been with Quietech since July of 2016.  He has a strong technical background and computers are truly a passion for him.  He has been interested in computers since a young age, and loves helping people with their technological needs. Carson also loves a challenge and enjoys experimental projects, like Bitcoin mining and building "inside-out" computers.

Our shop kitty Gingy has a lot of fans!  We have several people who come in regularly just to see her (what are we, chopped liver?!)

Gingy is a Grass Valley native.  She was adopted from AnimalSave in 2011. She loves her home office, the Geek Boutique, where she can very vocally greet new people every day who will pet and adore her.  She enjoys belly rubs and barrel-rolling.
