Meet the Coach.

Driven to provide understanding.
Eric Likness
Eric Likness

Owner / Head Coach

I’ve been fascinated with technology my entire life. My never ending quest to learn has made technology the perfect career field with me. I’ve accumulated a lot of projects, acronyms, and jargon over the years. So much so it’s second nature to me.

However,  after two decades of immersion in the field, I came to a realization: Not everyone enjoys technology!

Most of the time it’s because no one took the time to explain it to them in simple terms.

I had been surrounded by technologists my entire career and made the assumption everyone was like us. I was wrong!

I founded Lökwest with a simple goal – to improve your business or life through technology. That means easy explanations, patient coaching, efficient execution, and simple solutions. 

If you’re tired of tech jargon, and “just want things to work” – you’ve come to the right place!

You Need Zest!

Meet Zest

Technology should provide interest, enjoyment, and enhanced appreciation for life. We have developed a special program, based on 5+ years of volunteer work with adults at the Dorothy Visser Senior Center in San Clemente.

For the first time in history, there are two generations of older adults struggling to learn technology. We want to help.

Zest is our digital life coaching program geared towards people further along in their life adventure. You have lots of life experience, but you need technical help more than ever!

Look no further. We’ll see where a “zest” of technology can enhance your healthy, vibrant, connected, and independent lifestyle. You shouldn’t have to go back to school, remember more lists, or push more buttons.

Life is short. Stay Zesty!
