RDK's Barry Poitras, a Registered Communications Distribution Designer with over 27 years of telecommunications engineering and project management experience, will serve as co-group leader of the Technology Design Group. Prior to joining RDK in 2005, Poitras was founder and President of HighLAN Design Technologies. Joining Poitras as a co-group leader for the group is Philip Clendaniel, who has over 20 years of AV design and project management experience. Prior to joining RDK, Clendaniel had his own AV Design company.
