Brian Cometa is $300 Data Recovery’s founder and Lead Data Recovery Technician.
Brian has been tinkering with computers his whole life. In middle school, he started a web design company, and by high school, he moved into advertising and marketing using banner advertisements.
He moved to California from Columbia, MD in 2005 after graduating from Salisbury State University with a BA in Philosophy and then studying at the Conservatory of Recording Arts and Sciences in Arizona.
He began working in Los Angeles as an audio engineer but eventually realized working for himself (as an on-site Mac Technician) provided the most satisfaction and enjoyment. After starting a Mac Repair company (“EliteMacTechs”), he noticed the high demand for an affordable data recovery company. Soon thereafter, $300 Data Recovery was born.
As the lead technician, Brian personally works with almost every drive we receive — from initial diagnosis, repair, and imaging.
Brian enjoys keeping up-to-date with data recovery technologies, riding his motorcycle and electric skateboards with his girlfriend, and brewing/enjoying coffee.
