Security-first IT consulting and Apple services for businesses, non-profits, and municipalities across Nova Scotia and Atlantic Canada. Straightforward, practical, and built to last.
About
I'm the co-founder of Gridsage Ltd., an IT consulting and managed digital services company based in Nova Scotia. Two Island Harbour is my independent practice — the place where 15+ years of hands-on IT work across municipal government, non-profits, and small business comes together.
I've led IT infrastructure projects for organizations including Habitat for Humanity NS and the Municipality of Antigonish. I work within NIST Cybersecurity Framework and CIA triad principles, and I specialize in Apple-first environments — from MDM deployment to full device lifecycle management. If your team runs on Macs and needs someone who actually knows them, that's where I start.
