EMPOWERING EDUCATORS, ADVANCING HEALTHCARE AND BUILDING A SAFER, BETTER FUTURE. After 46 years in business, my priorities are clear: family, education, and health. Everything I do today revolves around these core values—supporting educators, medical researchers, and communities in reaching their highest potential. HADDOCK EDUCATION TECHNOLOGIESAt Haddock Education, we connect schools with the best vendors and products to address challenges in education and safety. From interactive panels and sound systems to security cameras, access control, and guest management, we provide solutions that create safe and effective learning environments for students and teachers alike. DRAGON MASTER INITIATIVEThrough our non-profit, Dragon Master, we strive to revolutionize cancer research. Inspired by the loss of my stepson to a brain tumor, we focus on connecting critical data points to unravel the mysteries of cancer. Leveraging cutting-edge technology, including artificial intelligence, we aim to deliver highly reproducible results that move the science forward.HISTORYI began my career as a software developer, creating the "Petroleum Accountant" software for the IBM 5110, a precursor to the iconic IBM PC. This early work taught me the importance of innovation and adaptability. In 1984, Apple recognized our expertise and invited us to sell Macintosh computers. After one weekend with the Macintosh 128k, I was sold. For decades, we proudly shared the power of Apple technology with consumers, businesses, and schools, becoming one of the largest Apple Specialists in the Midwest. I was honored to serve on Apple’s Reseller Advisory Board for over 10 years before we sold our retail stores in 2014. TODAY AND BEYONDWhether it's helping educators overcome challenges, advancing groundbreaking medical research, or finding new ways to protect students and teachers, my focus is on creating meaningful impact. Let’s connect to share ideas, collaborate, and make a difference.
