About JTG Systems

Background

John Gallie, born in May 1985 in St. Catharines, Ontario, was raised there until the age of 13 when he and his family moved to Pelham, Fonthill. John attended AK Wigg, Glenn A. Green, E.L. Crossley and Niagara College.

He developed a passion for computers and helping others at a young age and has been working with computers since Windows 95 was released. He spent many nights reading about computers and experimenting with his own gear, which has honed his skills in repairing both PCs and Macs.

"Computer repair is a natural but learned skill. One can differentiate between a computer technician who only has certifications but no hands-on experience, and a real technician who can diagnose, fix, and reassemble any computer."

Military Experience

In 2002, John joined the Department of National Defence / Lincoln and Welland Regiment and began his training as a Canadian infantry soldier. During his three-year tenure, he underwent rigorous training to prepare him for his role in the military.

He learned many skills, including urban warfare and tactical strategies, and was trained in all infantry weapon systems. John is a certified small arms coach and scored marksman on his personal weapons test level 3.

This experience honed his critical thinking and problem-solving skills, and he is capable of leading a team in even the harshest of climates into war. After his voluntary release in 2005, John carried the valuable skills and knowledge he acquired during his time in the army with him and has applied it to his passion; Computer Technology.

Co-op Program

John takes on co-op students from EL Crossley, his former high school, and trains them in computer repair. He provides practical training and hands-on experience using recycled computer equipment donated by clients.

This initiative not only helps students gain valuable skills but also promotes sustainability and community involvement.
