Self-investigation profile — Gary Dawayne Amick
A self-investigation profile compiled by Indiana Businesses Exposed at the explicit request and consent of the subject, Gary Dawayne Amick. Written as a transparency document and as a template for how other IBE profiles can be structured.
Who I am
- Full legal name: Gary Dawayne Amick
- Location: Seymour, Indiana (Jackson County)

Public-search aggregators (e.g., IDCrawl) show multiple people named Gary Amick across social platforms, including a LinkedIn profile for a different Gary Amick in Las Vegas (owner of a physical-therapy business). For my branding, the right phrase is “Gary Amick — That Computer Guy 26 / Indiana Businesses Exposed, Seymour, Indiana” so searchers distinguish me from others with the same name.
What I do
I run That Computer Guy 26 / TCG Solutions as a small-business-focused IT shop — full-stack web development, desktop and web applications, server infrastructure, AI integration, and local-network troubleshooting. The business is built around helping other small businesses automate, secure, and modernize their operations without over-complicated sales fluff.
Separately, I built and maintain the website for Cornerstone Foundation & Waterproofing in Columbus, Indiana (Bartholomew County). I am not an owner of that business — I wrote and run the site. The contract gives me direct exposure to contractor-style operations, homeowner concerns, and the gap between marketing promises and actual work quality, which feeds the IBE editorial lens.
Paired with that, I lead Indiana Businesses Exposed, an investigative-brand project focused on exposing patterns of consumer harm, safety violations, and regulatory non-compliance among Indiana businesses. The goal is simple: hold companies accountable, arm consumers with facts, and push for greater transparency.
Content themes
My posts and reels fall into four buckets:
- Tech & That Computer Guy 26. PC builds, gaming rigs, IT-troubleshooting, how-to content for small-business owners — securing devices, setting up home networks, basic cybersecurity, AI-integration tips. Most posts end with a call to book a repair, consult, or in-person visit.
- Indiana Businesses Exposed commentary. Investigative threads recapping Lumos Fiber, Don's Auto Sales, Credit Acceptance, Superior Auto, and NTN East; carousels explaining how to read APRs, understand “as-is” contracts, or file complaints with the Indiana Attorney General; call-to-action posts inviting victims to share their stories.
- Local community & family. Casual neighborhood-question posts, family-oriented content, kids and holidays, occasional contractor-life clips from Cornerstone work — the human side of the brand.
- Political / cultural commentary. Reaction-style reels pushing back on right-wing media figures and “MAGA-style” commentary, with a focus on accountability, transparency, and “follow the facts, not the vibe” — written with a “local Hoosier calling out national narrative” tone rather than full-policy analysis.
