Mike Fischer - CEO

Mike has served Kentucky with 30 years experience in the telecommunications industry. After his start in the industry as a salesman in 1979, he later acquired Cedco and built it into a successful powerhouse in the market. With his new partner, Scott Diamond, he later acquired and successfully developed U S Voice and Data in the same industry until being acquired as part of a national growth strategy. In an effort to provide the level of support his customers had been accustomed to throughout the years, and to give his team an opportunity to share in the success, Mike in part started Unified Technologies. Now as CEO of Unified Technologies, Mike is giving back in the form of an employee owned company with largely the same team that he has been with all along. Mike says, "After all these years, this business is fun again! We are getting back to the basics of serving our customers the way they deserve to be serviced."
