GBTC Emerging Roundtable: 1 of 2

Over the course of the past year Unleashed Technologies, LLC has been very fortunate to grow during these tough economic times. As the chief executive officer of our company I can tell you with much certainty that if it weren't for some of the terrific peer groups I partake in, the story could have been much different. As many of you know I'm very active in the Greater Baltimore Technology Council (GBTC) which is the regions top technical council serving the tech community of Baltimore as much more than a hub for networking but providing amazing resources, programs, and opportunities.

One of the groups I belong to is an "Emerging Companies" Roundtable group that meets once a month at the ETC Building off of Boston Street. As an individual I'm honored to be in the group and can't express the amount of support, advice, and friendship I get from fellow executives in helping make sure that Unleashed Technologies stays on the correct path. I wanted to put a post up and recognize the members of the group in 2009 (hopefully many more to come) and how Unleashed Technologies as a whole is thankful for their continual support. As a value add back I wanted to give a small background to each individual and the companies they represent.
