About Me
I started my first businesses in college, a small business consultancy and a graphic design/publishing company that created and distributed an award winning student magazine and a college textbook. In 1995 I started the first of 4 Internet service providers I would run and have also helped numerous startups and small businesses as a consultant.
About My Business
Black Box Corporation (NASDAQ: BBOX) is a trusted provider of comprehensive communications and infrastructure solutions. As a value-added reseller of platforms and applications from the industry’s top manufacturers, and a provider of our own line of technology products and services, we design, build, and maintain today’s complex voice and data networks.
What do you need next? (include today's date)
2/14/12 - I need anyone interested in getting a free Chik-fil-a breakfast while they learn more about voice over IP (VoIP) and unified communications. It would be great if they needed a new phone system or were in the process of evaluating phone systems, but even those curious about the technology would be welcome to come to my free training event - http://bbns.eventbrite.com
