Brothers' PC Business Boosts Boca Man's Career
Palm Beach Post
October 22, 1997

Robert Fellman busied himself as a teen by polishing the computer monitors in his big brothers' computer business.

These days, Fellman, is one of the bosses of PC Professor, along with brothers Howard and Steve. And the youngest brother's first major initiative has been to offer specialized computer training to senior citizens.

"I figured there's a whole market out there that is untapped," said Fellman, who lives in Boca Raton. "They are grandparents who want to be able to e-mail their grandkids, and nobody wanted to show them how."

Fellman, who graduated in May from the University of Maryland at College Park, recently came up with the idea of providing computer training to seniors. When he approached officials at Century Village in West Palm Beach, they jumped at the partnership, he said.

So far, about 50 Century Village residents have received training at PC Professor's West Palm Beach store. And the who coordinated the partnership for Century Village, predicted many more seniors will soon be joining them.

"Once the snowbirds come back, there will be a lot more people," she said. "I can't speak too highly of Robert. There is absolutely no generation gap at all between him and these senior citizens."

Robert, who teaches the course along with other PC Professor instructors, said the lessons are tailored to senior citizens. For example, he demonstrates how to get higher contrast for better visual impact and how to make the mouse respond to slower hand movements.

"I love being with people ... and they're no different from other people," Fellman said. "I'm very patient with my students, and they appreciate that."

Fellman officially joined PC Professor, with stores in Boca Raton and West Palm Beach, several months ago when his brothers made him an equal stockholder and named him chief financial officer, he said. The job has made him one of the most successful new graduates of his college, where he majored in finance and marketing, he said.

Fellman said his goals for PC Professor, the largest computer training company in Palm Beach County, are just beginning to be realized. The company recently sold its first franchise in Pembroke Pines and others are expected, he said.

"I'm focusing all my efforts on PC Professor," he said. "I want to see them all over the country."
