Schumaker & Company started in the most cliched of ways. The Ann Arbor IT firm's founder, Dennis and Pat Schumaker, thought they could do their jobs better if they were their own bosses.
And so Schumaker & Company was born in 1985. Today the company employs eight people, about half dozen independent contractors and two interns. It has grown steadily in recent years and the husband-and-wife team hope their company will continue that steady growth.
"I've had dramatic growth in the past and dramatic crashes, so I would just like to keep growing steadily," Dennis Schumaker says. "It's easy to grow revenue but I want to grow profits."
The company specializes in IT work and even does some consulting work for clients across the country. (Further background extension from website)
