Back in 2012, we started Cyberatory Enterprises LLC. Our main service was computer repair. Unfortunately, insufficient market research doomed the project from the beginning. We tried entering an over-saturated market and failed to launch properly. The business was closed after nine months.

In September 2022, we tried our hand at entrepreneurship again. Recognizing the stark fact that electronic waste accounts for 2% — 3% of the volume of the average landfill, we started Missoula Recycling and Environmental Technologies LLC to recycle and repurpose old electronics. Initially we only had one revenue stream, which hampered our early growth. We eventually expanded into other services, but were unable to overcome our early short-sighted, inexperienced decisions. We permanently closed up shop on May 31, 2024.

We took a hard look at our skills and our passions: coaching people to be their best, making tricky things less tricky, making and remaking stuff, helping people, and the planet — all while having good laughs. How do you wrap that up in one business? We had an idea so in September 2024, we took a third shot at entrepreneurship and Mykal Funk LLC was born! With those lessons learned, we created a new business aiming to be an agile and flexible organization capable of being as ingenious as MacGyver! In both their personal and business endeavors, they seek to identify true needs versus cultural needs. Any time they need or want something they follow a simple pattern. They seek to re-purpose or re-build first, manufacture for themselves second, buy used, and if they must, buy new.

That is the ethos that informs our service and product lineup (some of which are seasonal): taxes, help with Medicare insurance, recycling, and tech repair. In the final week of March 2025, we're launching a new webshop to showcase our high-quality used gear and custom equipment — think refreshed laptops, cleaned up gizmos, re-imagined and fresh-built desktops. Plus, we're adding a hub for consignment sales, service listings, and self-service scheduling for a better customer experience.

Ready to fix, recycle, or laugh? contact us today! We will reply as soon as we are able. Food might get in the way.

We have continued our recycling and re-purposing efforts. March 31, 2025 we will launch our Concierge Recycling Service. Our aim is to help families and businesses tame their recycling chaos. We handle and sort a wide variety of recyclables — cardboard, compost, electronics, glass, metal, paper, and plastics. You want to see old stuff turned into new stuff? We do too! No material is too strange for our batteries-included concierge recycling service. Reach out to us today to clear out your garage or office storage closet of all that old, dusty equipment or other recyclables. We'll pick them up, sort them out, and send them off to the appropriate reprocessing facility.

Most folks that know us well rarely see us apart. We function as a team in everything we do. But let's explain the dynamic duo behind the company is Julie Funk (social butterfly extraordinaire) and Mykal Funk (chef, technical wizard, MacGyver impersonator, accidental comedian, and resident generalologist, aka a specialist in the general). They firmly believe that every household should have its own small business. This is the only way we all will truly become independent with a deeply resilient supply chain.

How else are we going to get rid of our society's gremlins if we don't stop feeding them after midnight and start producing more than we consume? Drop us a message on our Contact Form if you're curious to know more! We're collecting questions so we can put up a FAQ page. We need questions to write about frequently asked questions!

It is our intent to provide for our own needs, while helping our freedom-loving tinker friends be as out-there or as ordinary as they choose. If you want help navigating this crazy world called business, you know where to go to find a business coach. We've revved up the DeLorean, dodged a few fumbles, and landed in the future — ready to help you solve your problems! And served with a side of humor!

Mykal has been playing with computers since the days of MS-DOS 4.0 in the mid 1990’s! He got his first computer (an old 8088 PC clone) when he was a teenager since the folks had gotten tired of him hogging the family 386 PC. He had it for only a few weeks before he broke it. His mother told him, You broke it, you fix it! He fixed it!

Julie is Mykal’s constant companion. She provides the social charisma to the operation. Her first words are very telling of her attitude towards life. According to her Dad they were toast. According to her Mom they were hi. Mykal leans towards her mother’s view of things!

Mykal & Julie Funk have been proud to call Missoula, Montana home since 2015. They live in a small one-bedroom library (Mykal has more than 3,000 books!) with their two little, black dogs — Detective Tribble and her sidekick Pax, the Wonder Boy. (Wondering what is he going to do next?)
