Dennis Rabon
Owner/President of FNBC South Carolina
After graduating with a BS in Risk Management and an MBA in Marketing and Strategic Management, Dennis began his career in commercial durable goods distribution with Michelin North America, developing the dealer network and growing national fleet sales. Continuing in the commercial trucking industry, Dennis took positions of increasing responsibility in dealer development, market management, channel management, and manufacturing plant management.
In 2002 Dennis left Airgate PCS to start VisionWireless. Generating over $4.6 million in new annual recurring revenue in its’ first year of business, VisionWireless quickly became the largest Sprint PCS business partner in the US,. Clients have relied on VisionWireless to deliver customized solutions for enterprise mobile telephony management, procurement, help desk services, Tier I technical support, chart of accounts billing, reporting and analytics. Clients included US Foods, Georgia Pacific, Fannie Mae, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Ferguson Enterprises, Sysco, and General Electric. In 2007, Dennis sold Vision Wireless to private equity and it remains one of the most successful Sprint Business Partners in the US.
In 2005 Dennis opened the first of what would become five franchised fitness centers. After growing membership at an average of 57% per year, the fitness centers were sold to a series of buyers between 2007 and 2010, and continue to operate today.
In November of 2007, Dennis purchased First National Business Company (SC), a company he had come to know through their brokerage services while selling his fitness centers. The experience was “...so professional, so simple, and so perfectly organized, I wanted to own the business”. Since purchasing the business, Dennis has expanded operations to include a successful small business consulting practice and SBA loan consulting services.
