ANTELOPE INSPIRES CONNECTICUT ENTREPRENEUR

Yes, Greyson Schwing provides fast service to his clients. But that isn't why he named his Milford web design, management and hosting firm Antelope Networks.

"I'm a huge Phish fan, and they have a song, `Run Like an Antelope.' I like the song and also that the business name is kind of an inside joke. It's all about the music for me.''

From an article in the (Bridgeport) Connecticut Post "Antelope Networks keeps web side of business running smoothly" by Frank Juliano, Staff Writer (4/28/11).

Funny, I had this Idea over ten years ago.....I started Antelope contracting which has been doing great since day one. I was told not to connect my business with a band like phish as people might not hire me. I can only say I have gotten jobs from Phishheads knowing what the name was. Everyone else has no Idea why I used that name and they all seem to like it. I just tell them I needed a name that began with an "A" so i would be at the top of the page in the phone book. We do work in the Bennington Vermont area, where we are from, but we are also down in The Philly area too. So give us a call if you need any new homes, home repairs or additions, Judd...802-236-2331

I was wondering how long it would be before somebody joked the last name...

I have definitely gotten business from the Phish connection, and even those who don't get it appreciate my passion for music and art, its a great ice-breaker / conversation starter.

Helps to be top of the alphabet too

so any of you phish heads out there that need a kind website design just let me know!
