Scott Kendall of The Technology Coach has been providing small business technology support in the west GTA area since 1991, with over 15 years of experience as a small business IT specialist there are few technology problems he hasn’t seen and fewer still he hasn’t resolved.
Starting at the age of just 15 Scott was providing computer service at a local computer repair shop in his home of south Etobicoke, collecting several small business clients including providing support for both of his entrepreneurial parents Scott was the de-facto IT support person for many local businesses before he was even old enough to drive.
Registering as just the 7th user on the Toronto free-net project in 1993 Scott has had internet access in his home since before the internet was anywhere near useful! Scott has always had a keen eye for emerging technologies, seeing opportunities for businesses in technology while warning many small business owners of technologies that simply weren’t a good investment.
