IN THIS HIGH TECH AGE OF EVER-IMPROVING COMPUTERS, I-PODS AND CELL PHONES, MANY OF US WONDER WHAT TO DO WITH OUR OLD GADGETS WHEN WE UPGRADE.

TONIGHT'S WORKING WOMAN IS FILLING THAT NEED... AND BECOMING ONE OF THE COUNTRY'S MOST SUCCESSFUL FEMALE ENTREPRENEURS AT THE SAME TIME.

ALISON STARLING HAS THE STORY.

 

Story:

ROWS AND ROWS OF GADGETS.. .. BLACKBERRIES, PHONES, IPODS, GPS AND MORE.  ALL ABANDONED FOR THE LATEST MODEL, AND WAITING NOW FOR NEW LIFE THANKS TO JENNIFER CANTY.  AND BUSINESS IS BOOMING!

Jennifer Canty: "I'm pretty amazed, actually!"

IT ALL STARTED IN HER BASEMENT, THEN CANTY AND HER HUSBAND MOVED THE COMPANY INTO THIS EMPTY WAREHOUSE IN STERLING VIRGINIA. Jennifer Canty: "We kinda joked like oh, I don't know if we'll ever fill this warehouse and we're sort of bursting at the seams at this point."

AT HER COMPANY, DYSERN, A RETURNED PRODUCT IS TESTED, BROUGHT  BACK TO WORKING CONDITION AND SOLD  ON THE WEB.

AND... CANTY SAYS IT'S GREAT FOR THE ENVIRONMENT, KEEPING THESE ITEMS OUT OF THE LANDFILLS. RECENTLY INC. MAGAZINE NAMED DYSERN ONE OF THE NATION'S FASTEST GROWING PRIVATELY HELD COMPANIES.  AND BY THE WAY, THIS MOTHER OF TWO IS THE ONLY PREGNANT CEO ON THE LIST!

Jennifer Canty: "I like to say that I'm a very good multi tasker and that sort of helps and allows me to do that, and so what's one more??!  Add one more to the pile and that should be no problem!  <Laughs.>"

CANTY EXPECTS DYSERN TO CONTINUE ITS GROWTH AND SAYS THE COMPANY WILL LIKELY DO 10 MILLION DOLLARS IN BUSINESS THIS YEAR.   YOU CAN LEARN MORE ABOUT IT ON OUR WEBSITE AT WJLA.COM.
