Wired Communications and the cabling business it represents today dates back 20 years when KLF Business Systems entered the structured cabling marketplace under the leadership of our current president Kyle Kitchen. KLF was founded in 1968 by three partners, including Kyle’s father, Charles. The Kitchen’s played a significant role in the success of KLF until the late 1990’s when purchased by Expanets and then later G3 Technology Partners. In April 2005 Wired Communications was created through an asset purchase arrangement to further grow the cabling business in a more independent, nimble, and cost effective business model. Through these company transitions Wired has retained many of its key original employees and enjoys an experienced and dedicated team today.
When not cheering the Wired team on to bigger and bolder projects, you’ll find Kyle relaxing on the golf course or perfecting his score at the bowling alley. Spending quality time with his family is a top priority and you can find them cheering on their favorite Cubs and Colts. teams. Kyle is also a member of the Ft. Wayne Friar’s Club.
