The Connector Who is a Connector and why they matter
Mike Beck builds networks across business and nonprofit sectors. A Coast Guard Reserve veteran and firefighter, he led Oaklawn Hospital development after chairing its board and council. Beck describes himself as a synergist who connects people, listening to needs and leveraging a vast database. He later grew HBC Contracting from salary plus equity to full ownership in 2000 while expanding the company.
