Windham Tech Comes to Town
“I’ve known I wanted to do this with my life since I was twelve years old,” says Windham Tech founder Vincent Cupo.
The old saying is still true that, “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it,” but if it is busted and it’s a computer, cell phone, tablet, I-pad, video game console or virtually anything techie, Vincent Cupo is your guy.
Behind the red door, Windham Tech is open six days a week at 5348 State Route 23, just past Mill Street, between Main Street Market and Bunce Realty (located in a side office along the driveway of the Bunce Realty building).
Windham Tech is the newest business in town.
WINDHAM - So there it was, sitting on a table in pieces, and that was that for Vincent Cupo, proprietor of Windham Tech, a new business in town.
“It was the first time I saw the inside of a computer,” Cupo says, vividly remembering the moment. “I was twelve years old.
“Ever since then, I knew this is what I wanted to do with my life. I knew I wanted to be an entrepreneur too, and the opportunity has come.”
The opportunity knocking is Windham Tech, at 5348 Route 23 in downtown Windham, neatly tucked between Main Street Market and Bunce Realty.
A small driveway is present, leading to the red front door of the enterprise, then circling back-around to Main Street. The shop is open six days a week, with a celebratory Open House on August 23, noon to 2 p.m.
Cupo, now in his early 30’s, has a simple business plan in an increasingly complex AI world. “You break it, we fix it,” he says, smiling.
There are multiple “its” including laptops, desktops, I-phones, cell phones, Mac Books, tablets, I-pads and video game consoles.
Cupo can handle hardware and software issues, saying, “there is definitely a need for this in our community,” noting he resides in Hensonville.
“Everyone I talk to says this is something we desperately need, and one of the key things I offer is price matching. If a customer finds a lower price somewhere, I will match it…and provide better service.”
His curiosity and curation include game development, web and application development and “messing with photo shop, 3D modeling, the whole nine yards,” Cupo says.
Much has changed since Cupid’s Arrow struck Cupo for computers, but not much is different. “I used to take toys apart when I was little and I blew out a couple of outlets, experimenting with plugging things in,” he says.
“I put the toys back together though, and getting shocked a few times never deterred me. I am super duper passionate about what I do.”
Windham Tech will, “include as many services and help as many people as possible,” Cupo says. “Instead of going somewhere else, I’m right here.”
Days and hours are Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., Wednesday, noon to 6 p.m. Saturday, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sunday, closed.
