How'd it all start? Well, on one side of South Carolina, a young media arts major
decided to get a job at a local tech support firm that provided Internet support to small
independent ISPs nationwide. On the other, a high school student began to find a niche for
design concepts that branched away from traditional teachings...

The young man began as a first line technician, rose to the rank of second level support, and was quickly
promoted again to Special Project Manager. Third in command of the company, he quickly learned the strengths and
weaknesses of phone based tech support. From there, he began responding in person to local calls for help, and his
reputation began to spread. As he became the default contact for support issues, his clients relied on him for effective
support and advice.

The woman graduated and flew across the country to Oregon to attend college, but not before discovering she had a natural grasp
on the coding language known as HTML. Armed with a strong background in design and professional branding (her father
was a successful industrial designer), she quickly began to take on more and more complicated projects that consisted of
website creations for friends and organizations who were looking to get a foothold in the Internet. Then one day she decided
to return to South Carolina...

It was there, in Columbia, that they finally met (and what a meeting it was). They decided to combine
their talents to form a highly versatile organization, and turned his sole-proprietorship, named MianoVision
(his last name combined with his "vision" of a perfect technological future), into a true LLC.
Very soon after, in 2002, she combined his last name with hers as well.
