Sept. 18, 2009--A new information technology company officially opened with a ribbon-cutting ceremony Friday.
G6 Communications opened its office at 105 N. Jefferson St. earlier this summer. It was founded in 2007 by Ossian native Blake King and IT professional John Kotski. In 2009 they added partner Mark Clemens to the team. All three partners are veterans of the U.S. Marine Corps. The name G6 Communications is a tribute to the Marine Corps. The Marines’ G6 unit is responsible for the coordination and supervision of all communications and information systems management functions for the Corps. It also happens to be the unit where King and Kotski served together while stationed in Okinawa, Japan.
The Wells County Chamber of Commerce has welcomed G6 Communications as an important part of the community. “G6 Communications provides its customers state-of-the-art technology services and support,” said Wells County Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Suzanne Huffman. “We are proud to have G6 in Wells County and also part of the Wells County Chamber of Commerce.”
G6 Communications brings businesses based in rural communities the same level of technical support as their metropolitan competitors. In order to compete in today’s marketplace, businesses must embrace technology as a tool. But as the level of technology increases, so does the complexity-bringing with it the dangers of security breaches and data loss. G6 forms long-term partnerships with businesses, finding solutions to information technology issues and improving business operations.
King, an Ossian native, is an experienced Cisco and Microsoft certified network engineer. In his career, he has led several large technology projects and deployments as well as managed millions of dollars in technology equipment worldwide. King began his career in the telecommunications and network operations industries in the U.S. Marine Corps, where he received the Navy and Marine Corps Commendation Medal for exceptional service as a tactical network engineer.
Kotski is a Cisco and Microsoft certified network engineer with multiple awards from the United States Marine Corp for exceptional service in the network operations field. He has 12 years of experience in the communications industry. Recently, while at Northrup Grumman, Kotski was the lead security engineer, securing critical information systems for the Multinational Division in Iraq.
Clemens, a veteran of Operation Desert Storm, has 17 years of experience in the communications field. He has managed field operations across the country for several companies including GTE, Comcast, Nielsen Media Research, and Great American Broadband.
