  The Waterfront Computer Company

  May 2023 - now

  Co-Owner, President

  After 30 years of sales, marketing, and managing various aspects of businesses for other people, I started the Waterfront Computer Company Inc., where I can make business decisions based on my own conscience and aligned with my own personal ethos. Waterfront Computer Co. fills the need for fast, reliable, professional computer and I.T. services in Sydney, NS, and surrounding area. Our focus is on small independent businesses and post secondary students. We provide affordable, reliable computer repairs and on-site I.T. support, and we stock a broad selection of new and refurbished computers and monitors. We believe in our hearts that the cost of technology should never be a barrier to education, personal growth, or business success. Our mission is to help ensure that everybody can afford the technology they need to succeed. Show less
