Dick Griffin, CEO

Dick Griffin attended Ohio State on a football scholarship under Coach Woody Hayes.

Afterwards he owned and operated an Underground Service Company in Akron/Cleveland

Area.  While working near Clarksburg, West Virginia, he fell in love again with his home

state and its people. 

Dick started Telecom in 1973 after the break-up of Bell Atlantic's monopoly of system

ownership and installed over 1,000 systems in West Virginia.  He invented the Navy’s

Cascon System still used in submarines today and the Call Orbit technology (now called

Parking Orbit) that allows a phone call to be answered from any phone. 

Dick is considered a leading authority on digital signals over standard phone lines. 

Motivated by the market needs of superior phone systems and service in West Virginia,

he established Dick Griffin & Co in 1996 and became a Siemens Channel Partner in 1997.
