The Computer Guy was started in 1996 as a way to make a little extra money by Bob Agoglia. In 1998 the company was incorporated. Working on computers in the afternoons after work the business grew each year to the point that in 2003 it became a full time job. Three years later the growth was such that it could not be handled by just Bob Agoglia. On January 2, 2007 a store/office was opened at 313 Long Circle in Roanoke Rapids NC with a staff of four.
