Credentials of Mark Hazlett,

President of Telecom Services of Iowa, Inc.

With nearly 30 years experience in the telecommunication industry, Mark began his career in the original “Bell System” with Northwestern Bell.  In 1984 he became the first Sales Manager hired in the original Teleconnect Company; and later became Director of Sales for Telephone Systems Division of the company. 

Mark remained in the communications industry after Teleconnect was sold to MCI, working for Norstan Communications. Later along with long time friend and co-worker, the late Larry Brauer, Mark co-founded a company that provided telecommunications equipment to small and mid-sized businesses in eastern Iowa. This company continues in business today.

In 2001 Mark founded Telecom Services of Iowa as a provider of Qwest services. He expanded the company in 2003 to include the sale, implementation and support of telephone system equipment with the purchase of Business Telephones Interconnect, a decade old provider of system equipment. Telecom Services of Iowa, Inc. has since grown to become the largest Samsung dealer in the state of Iowa.

Mark’s extensive experience in telecommunications has provided him with expertise in voice hardware, local, long distance and Internet connectivity solutions. More importantly, it has given him the expertise necessary to address the specific applications of each client with whom he works.
