Meet Stephen
A high standard of care, brought home.
Tidewater Home and Tech is owned and operated by Stephen Macomber, a Coast Guard veteran with nearly two decades of technology, cybersecurity, and operational leadership.
Stephen has led large technical teams, protected mission-critical networks and cloud systems, and managed complex projects where clear decisions and careful execution mattered. Tidewater Home and Tech brings that same discipline to a much more personal setting: your home.
He pairs deep technical experience with the practical patience to explain what changed, why it mattered, and what you should know after the visit.
