Meet your guide
Hi, I’m Royal.
Patient explanations. Practical confidence.
I’ve spent nearly twenty years helping people feel at home with technology, almost a decade of it at Apple.
Cover Guide grew out of real questions in real classrooms. The best moments come when someone asks, the room laughs, and everyone realizes they weren’t the only one wondering.
The same welcome is here. Bring your questions.
Royal Knox
