Who We Are
Summit Tech Rescue is a tech repair startup founded at the University of St. Thomas in Saint Paul, which is where the name “Summit” comes from. We started this business to make tech repair and support straightforward, affordable, and easy to trust.
We focus on the kinds of problems people run into every day. For students, that often means hardware repairs like phone screen replacements and battery replacements, plus help with laptop batteries and general device issues. For the surrounding Saint Paul neighborhoods, we also provide services like virus removal, software installs, data transfers, device setup, and data recovery. We keep communication clear and pricing fair, and we treat your device like it’s our own.

Meet the Team
Ben Kazmerski Founder & Lead Engineer
I’ve been interested in repairing technology since I was a kid. I used to stop by my local repair shop in my hometown and ask for recycled devices so I could take them apart, fix them, and sell them on eBay. That was my first real source of income, and it’s what sparked my interest in repair.
After high school, I worked in the repair industry for over three years and learned a wide range of skills, from basic component repairs to advanced micro-soldering. I decided to keep building on that experience by studying computer engineering at the University of St. Thomas, which helped me understand the devices we rely on at a deeper level.
Now I’m building Summit Tech Rescue so I can use what I’ve learned to help people around me, whether that’s a student dealing with a broken screen or dead battery, or a neighbor who needs patient, reliable help with their computer and data.
