Why I Built Ransom Zapper

For over 20 years, I repaired computers and listened to the pain of people scammed online — grandparents who lost their savings, mothers in tears, and families devastated by one click. It was never just about fixing machines. It was about restoring peace.

I gave everything to my business. When COVID hit, it took nearly everything from me — my savings, my home, and the future I thought I had built. But what it couldn’t take was the calling that started in my heart: to protect the vulnerable and fight back against deception.

It was during that season of brokenness that I gave my life fully to Jesus. Not halfway. Not quietly. I surrendered — and what came next wasn’t a business plan. It was a burden. A mission. A clear whisper: “Use what you know to protect others.”

Ransom Zapper isn’t a company. It’s a response to that calling. A shield. A warning light. A reminder that the lies of this world don’t get the last word — and that we are never alone when truth stands with us.

I didn’t build this to make money. I built it because God put it on my heart. He gave me the skills. He gave me the scars. And He gave me the reason. This is my obedience.

If you’ve been lied to, scammed, or made to feel powerless — know this: You are seen. You are worth protecting. And there is peace beyond the popups and the noise.

“The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.” — Psalm 34:18
