Inc. Magazine Recognizes T3's President as a Top Ten Entrepreneur

Rubbing elbows with the likes of Mel Gibson and Burt Rutan, the first private businessman to launch human beings into space, T3's president Gay Warren Gaddis was selected by Inc. Magazine as one of the Top Ten Entrepreneurs of 2004.

"I'm passionate about my work and my company," said Gaddis. "It's exciting to receive recognition for something that defines such a huge part of my life. My favorite response has been from my son Sam who says that making it to Mel Gibson status is cool."

Inc.com users commented on and rated Gaddis's nomination on a 10-point scale. Based on the user ratings and number of positive comments, Gaddis was selected.

"This was the first year Inc. readers had a voice in the selection process," said Carole Williams, Inc. senior editor. "Since our Web site had the capacity to display all the nominations online, we wanted to actively involve its readers." Inc. is a national monthly magazine edited exclusively for CEOs of small- to mid-sized, fast-growing companies with a circulation of over 700,000.
