Wes Bradshaw has a particularly diverse background, which helped him form the concept for Sunbelt, the integration company he founded in 2005 in Atlanta. He worked at several world-class resorts, sold books door-to-door, on commission, and even worked the technology trade association, NASBA, who put together marketing plans for industry-leading companies like Microsoft and Intel to reach out to the system builders and VARs nationwide. When Intel came out with its Media Center PC, he had the opportunity to work with Roland Graham, a TechHome Leadership Award winner, who was setting up different systems attached to the Media Center.

EVERY DAY WE BECOME MORE RELIANT on the technologies that surround us and become more comfortable with the conveniences they afford. In this always-on world, being disconnected is simply unacceptable. Whether in our homes, our backyards, or our places of business, we want to be able to check in with friends and be aware of our family’s comings and goings. That’s why, when spearheading this top-to-bottom overhaul of a 14-acre estate in Atlanta, ensuring constant connectivity was the top priority for the local home automation systems integrators at Sunbelt Technology.

How They Did It: Making connections with his alma mater has helped owner Wes Bradshaw grow the business. “We got involved with the University of Georgia alumni and have been voted as one of the Fastest Growing Top 100 Companies the past two years. The connections, networking and marketing around that event and award have really helped target potential clients around the Atlanta and Athens area,” he says.
