The Story Behind Pocket Grandson
The idea for Pocket Grandson came from a simple experience that stuck with me.
While visiting a large technology store, I noticed a senior asking an employee about upgrading her old phone. Instead of helping her find something familiar and suited to her needs, she was sold a brand-new, high-end flagship phone that was expensive and completely different from what she was used to.
I remember thinking that there should be someone looking out for people in situations like this, providing genuine help to people with their technology and devices.
That experience inspired me to start Pocket Grandson.
I chose the name Pocket Grandson because helping my grandparents with their technology has always been something I genuinely enjoy.
I wanted to bring that same kind of personal help to others — with honest advice, patience, and no unnecessary upgrades or confusing technical jargon.

The Enterprise Challenge was an incredible experience where I learned so much about starting out as an entrepreneur. Between learning about the financial side, social media, and so much more, I grew a whole lot as a person.
