Day 1 - Learning the Business Backgound

 On my first day, I met Ron Garrett, the CEO of TelComTec who is also the owner. He showed me around the office which is a small space consisting of a lobby, and a couple of personal offices, conference room, and a lab/testing area. Additionally, there was also a large warehouse filled with tech gear.

For the most part I watched the inner workings of the office and talked to Mr. Garrett about the business history and structure. 

Mr. Garret explained that TelComTec was founded by two former AT&T technicians in 1986. The business was started in a home garage with the goal of providing telecom services to the city of San Diego. These services included telephone wiring, and basic business telephone installation. Mr. Garrett started as technician in 1990 and eventually bought the company in 1996 with the help of a bank loan that was paid in full in 2006. Today TelComTec consists of small office staff, with 2 department heads, 12 specialized technicians and various subcontracted temp technicians.
