John's 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. To John, repairing computers has become a natural skill that he has developed over 17 years.

According to John, "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. Regularly stepping outside one's comfort zone and challenging oneself in all aspects of computer repair sets an expert apart from a hobbyist."

John has also trained in GoJu Ryu Karate / mixed martial arts under Tom Burtnik since the age of 7. He earned his black belt in mixed martial arts. This shows his commitment and confidence not only in himself but also in the work he does.

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. Today, he remains proud of his service to his country and the training he received as a Canadian infantry soldier. Those years will always be valued and some of the best times of his life were in the Army.

In 2005, John founded JTG Systems, which was originally JTG Computer Repair. He changed the name later that year as the company was capable of repairing not just computers, but almost all electronics. His company has a VERY positive reputation in the community and is well-referred by all who know him.

With each repair, John puts his name on the line for quality and his personal reputation as Niagara's #1 Computer Repair place. The business's owner, John Thomas Gallie, is a testament to the quality of service provided by JTG Systems.
