About Us

Steve Reed, a Dallas native, grew up in the telephone industry—as the son of the local union Executive Vice President and a Southwestern Bell switchboard operator, Steve and his siblings were pretty much destined to take up the family tradition. After a yearlong backpacking trip to Hawaii, Steve found himself as a technician at the phone company. Over his ten year tenure at Southwestern Bell/AT&T, Steve held various technical positions and gained extensive knowledge of the telephone industry. After AT&T, he joined an up and coming company called Metagram America, where he quickly moved up the ranks into corporate management, a role that would help him acquire the skills needed to begin his largest undertaking yet—the founding of Advent Telecom in 1991. Nearly twenty years later, Advent Telecom is still thriving and, as President/CEO, Steve is still chasing his never ending goal of making Advent the leader in customer service and satisfaction.

Steve’s hobbies include offshore fishing, working on his lake house at Richland Chamber Lake, playing golf and photography.
