Meet CoCo The Geek

CoCo The Geek actually started off as a nickname for me because I was such a geeky person, doing production audio, repairing equipment, and offering tech support—so, I was known as the "geek" around town. When I started offering free electronic waste and metal recycling to people in my neighborhood, everyone assumed CoCo The Geek was a company and not an individual, so I built around that.  The COVID 19 pandemic  allowed me to go full force with my company due to the high increase in waste I was seeing. People had more time, so they were cleaning out stuff, and also needing to upgrade computers, laptops, etc. When I saw the need for my service, I just took a leap of faith. Especially since, my life has always revolved around electronics, tech, and just being a hands-on person.

 Prior to starting Coco The Geek, I already had over 13 years of Audio and IT experience—both very technical fields—so, I was already doing the majority of what I do now. The only difference is my work is now on a larger scale and more focused on cutting the amount of e-waste and metals that end up in the landfill. This is the beginning to an amazing adventure and I’m all here for it!
