About Us

Up & Running PCs was founded in 2009 by Chris Droge. Chris started his venture into computers when he was 12, when his grandfather taught him about computers and DOS, before the days of Windows. After he graduated from high school in 1994, Chris proudly served in the US Navy, where he received most of his computer training. Chris also graduated from ITT Technical Institute in 2010 with his Computer Network Systems degree. A year after Chris started his company, Up & Running PCs, in January 2009 in Las Vegas, NV and he relocated to Minneapolis, MN in January 2010. Up & Running PCs then became a sub-division of The Tech Outfit in August of 2010 and has been an important part of their residential services that covers the Minneapolis and St. Paul metro area (and beyond).
