Experimac is a business dedicated to providing pre-owned products, repair services and trade-ins for Apple® devices including its enormously popular lines of cell phones, tablets and laptops. Kent is the perfect person to open this "first ever" franchise.

With five years as a senior manager for Apple, Kent worked to promote some of the same products he will now be offering at Experimac. The store is located at 5920 Roswell Rd. Suite B-115, technically in Sandy Springs, Georgia.

“Nearly every aspect of my career has had a significant presence of Apple® devices in some way,” explains Kent. “I loved my career, but it became apparent that it was time for a career change. My experience working with Apple® was just one of many reasons why Experimac stood out as the perfect opportunity for me. I love being at the cutting edge of technology and Apple® platforms have always represented the peak of advanced computing. I’ve quit a job because they wouldn’t let me use Apple® products, which says it all about my dedication to the brand.”
