Arthur Zilberman
Arthur’s journey in laptop repair and computer services has taken him from running Wall Street IT departments, at Fortune 100 companies like JP Morgan Chase, to teaching as an adjunct technology instructor. Arthur’s story begins in Minsk, Belarus. When Arthur was a boy, his family was forced to immigrate to the United States as a result of the Chernobyl nuclear disaster. Arthur grew up in Sheepshead Bay in Brooklyn and quickly picked up computer and programming skills through trial and error and a lot of bright intuitive learning. He obtained his B.S. in Computer Science from the New York Institute of Technology, propelling him into his career as a corporate IT manager and later as a computer services provider.
