Mike Fischer – Founding Partner

Mike has served Kentucky with 30 years experience in the telecommunications industry.  He began as a salesman in 1979, later acquiring Cedco and building it into a successful powerhouse in the market. With Scott Diamond, he 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. As Founding Partner, Mike is giving back in the form of an employee owned company with largely the same team that he has been with all along.  “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.” Mike holds a BA and MA in Clinical Psychology from Western Kentucky University and an MBA from the University of Louisville.
