Dennis shares his career journey, starting with his early fascination with wireless technology and his three-decade tenure at Verizon, where he transitioned from hands-on market-level roles to corporate policy development. He discusses his leap into entrepreneurship, driven by a desire to solve complex industry problems on his terms.

Dennis outlines critical challenges in the wireless industry, including inefficiencies in operational expenses and contractor management, and highlights his commitment to finding cost-effective solutions.
