As a career entrepreneur, Michael has over 35 years experience and classic style (“old”) customer service and creative marketing. “I acquired Preferred Communications, because it already had what I consider the three most important elements – talented and dedicated staff, an excellent selection of exceptional products, and a top quality customer base. We remain committed to upholding the traditions and performance created by our founder Bob Meeker.”

Preferred Communications

Rugged Mobile Computers, Networking and Cisco Products Sales and Technical Support

The company began back in 1994 by Bob Meeker. The learning curve was steep and finding capable people to be an integral and productive part of the company “family” was a journey and learning experience.  We found the best team of people ever. Our customers appreciate doing business with us because of the way we conduct business much more than for the products we sell. We would welcome the opportunity to work with you too. Please give us a call to learn for yourself why you might consider our products and services.
