Anderson, SC

1984, my wife purchased me a Texas Instruments +4 which ran on CP/M and a primitive DOS program.  I read every book and magazine that I could get my hands on to understand and learn more.  In 1985/86, the army starting getting computers, so me being the only person knowing what the "big red button" was for, I was automatically in-charge.

In 1991, the Army tapped my interest and self-taught knowledge and put me in charge of computers for the brigade which eventually lead to my job as the SC Upstate Director of Information Management (DOIM).  I attending many schools, programmed, and stood up some of the first unix email servers within the military.  Being on the ground floor of the information age was an exciting and gratifying experience.

Brown Datacom (Brown Electronics) was started in 1995 while I (Ted) was still on active duty with the Army National Guard.   Computers were still pretty new to most people and very few people other than the military had them due to the cost.   I started building "white boxes" which reduced the cost of computers and naturally satisfied my curiosity and interest in electronics and computer programming.  I had the occasional person that needed help and would refer me.

In 2000, the business had grown enough to have a employee other than myself and this continued until Dec 2004 when I retired after 24 years of active duty with the army and worked with Brown Datacom 80 hours of week instead of my former 40 hours with the army and 40 with the business (wow...that was smart).

Today, Brown Datacom, LLC has a total of 5 employees and 1 contractor on call for emergencies.  We manage the IT needs of large to small business totaling approx 700 computers and servers through out SC,  Charlotte, Raleigh, NC and Northeast GA.   We work for businesses and DO NOT run a store front.  This business strategy allows us to maintain low overhead, lower prices in our segmented market, while focusing on business applications and design, not "grandmother's family tree maker"

WE ARE IN BUSINESS FOR BUSINESS.....THAT'S WHAT WE DO
