Just two years out of college in 1991, Doug Pitt decided to open his own computer service business, Service World Computer Center Inc.

Since 1994, the company has grown from two employees to 24, and it has enjoyed an average 35 percent growth rate for seven out of eight years. Rob Neal is vice president, handling financial matters, while Wayne Murphy is the technical supervisor.
