Peter Marcum began his entrepreneurial career first as a self-taught programmer and then as owner of multiple Computerland stores. Marcum founded Nashville Computer Liquidators (NCL) in the early 1990s. Under Marcum's leadership, NCL grew to a company generating more than $200 million in annual sales. Marcum sold a majority stake of NCL in 1998 and his remaining interest in April 2000. In June of 2000, Marcum founded Essex Technology Group (ETG), a multi-million-dollar eCommerce company and in 2001 co-founded Wilhagan Ventures, LLC in order to capitalize on the wealth of inexpensive high-tech equipment liquidated during the dot-com bust of the late nineties. In 2003, with the success and buying power of Wilhagan Ventures, Marcum decided to expand into the network backbone business after buying assets from the distress sale at Enron. With a single nntp news server business he formed WV Fiber and a year later spun off the new server business (now UseNetServer) to focus on the network. Marcum attended Morehead State University. |
