Sustainability is core personal value at Garden City Computer Care. Before entering the tech industry, I spent over a decade working in the environmental sector, helping businesses across Canada reduce their waste, energy, and water consumption. That background, combined with formal training in Environmental Technology and Natural Resource Conservation, shapes how I approach every job.
In practice, that means extending the life of your existing devices wherever possible rather than pushing unnecessary upgrades, working remotely when a house call isn't needed, and arriving in a low-emission vehicle when it is. When a device has truly reached the end of its life, I'll help you find responsible disposal options rather than sending it straight to the landfill. Technology should serve people and the planet — not the other way around.
Privacy is a foundation at Garden City Computer Care. Every decision about how this business operates runs through a simple question: does this respect your data?
In practice, that means all work is performed in your home, on your device, with you present. Nothing is copied, retained, or accessed after the job is done. When remote support is needed, it happens only with your explicit consent and full visibility — you see everything I do, in real time. This website uses no tracking pixels, no advertising cookies, and no third-party analytics. I don't use Google products in my business, and I won't recommend them to you unless they're genuinely the right fit for your situation. New clients come through referrals and word of mouth, not surveillance advertising.
When it comes to software recommendations, I prioritize Canadian and open-source alternatives that keep your data out of foreign jurisdictions and away from platforms built on harvesting it.
