Mike Houge is
Co-founder and Vice President at Netmedic.
Mike has over
thirteen years of experience in information technology implementation and
management. Mike’s early interest in the IBM AS/400 began as an operations
manager at the Texas facility of one of America’s largest value-added resellers
and integration firms. In that role, he was responsible for a wide variety of
customer services such as the configuration, testing and staging of IBM
midrange mainframes as well as parts distribution and maintenance services.
An early student
of client server and networking topologies, Mike soon recognized the
opportunity to launch on his own. His
independent consulting practice - that helped AS/400 clients take advantage of
client server technologies - had thrived for over three years when he met
fellow independent consultant Ted Lemmy.
Recognizing
similar values and standards, the two planned a firm that could offer a wide
range of technical support. Admiring the professionalism and responsiveness of
emergency medical personnel, the two named the venture Netmedic.
Houge operates
with a hands-on style and wears many hats: finance, marketing, sales and
operations. But always a “tech” at heart, he insists on reserving time for
client hands-on work with the company’s service technicians.
