Jan 1997 - Aug 2011
Launched The Bracket Company at 25 years old after recognizing a need for monitors to be installed in dental operatories for use with intraoral cameras. Signed distribution agreements with Middle Atlantic Products, Richardson Electronics and other commercial/industrial OEM's to supply monitor mounts throughout North America. Contracts to integrate LCD's at major airports, retailers (eg: Walmart, Canadian Tire, CIBC Bank), schools and office environments followed. Rebranded the company and established Mediamounts as a go to supplier for high quality engineered solutions to integrate technology into some of the most demanding environments. In 2008 steered the company exclusively into the Healthcare IT Market based on a vision to create the industries best wall mount to integrate computer workstations at patient bedside. With the assistance of Brad Chitty, who I appointed CEO in 2009, we re-branded the company, launched a complete Healthcare product offering and were subsequently acquired in July 2011 by Compx Waterloo Show less
