History

Cherif Ammar-Khodja, founder of KVS Computers, is a Berber native of Algeria in North Africa. He came to America, quenched his thirst for knowledge through higher education and pursued a career in the corporate IT world. After experiencing the pitfalls of corporate downsizing more than once and with a strong aversion of relocating his family to other parts of the country for job offers, Cherif decided to go into business for himself. With his extensive knowledge, skills and appreciation for his adoptive country, he wanted to give back to his local community by providing them with a reliable, affordable, trustworthy one stop shop for all their computer and IT needs. Taking his passion for technology combined with the love of his family and the desire to help others with the IT challenges they face, he created a computer repair and consulting business, KV Consulting. The company was named after his two daughters, Kenna and Valerie. However, in a short time after the start of KV Consulting, he and his wife, Lisa, gave birth to a third daughter. His pride and love for his three beautiful daughters, Kenna, Valerie and Sadia, is apparent in the fact that they are the namesake behind the company name which is now KVS Computers.

We are 100% committed to retiring and recycling electronics the right way. We have gone above & beyond the average recycler by voluntarily obtaining the R2:2013 electronics recycling certification.

As a R2:2013 certified IT asset life cycle management company, you can rest assure we will responsibly, securely and safely destroy your data and your equipment will not end up in a landfill.

What Is R2 and Why Is It Important?

Anyone can claim to be a responsible recycler, but R2 Certified companies prove it with annual inspections conducted by independent third party certifying bodies. R2 Certified recyclers and refurbishers comply with the requirements of the R2 Standard which was developed by a multi-stakeholder group with representatives from the EPA, major manufacturers and recyclers to protect the environment, workers and data security. More and more businesses and government agencies are entrusting their decommissioned electronic equipment to R2 Certified companies because they recognize the value of protecting their brand and bottom line from data breeches and environmental liabilities stemming from improper disposal of their IT assets. R2 Certified companies conform to the highest industry standards, which reduces your exposure to liability.
