The name comes from the three co-founders. The H is for Hoglund (Greg). The B is for Bracken (Shawn). The Gary is for Jon Gary who left the company shortly after it was founded.
- georgieporgie 16y agoThank you for that. The name is still irritating to me, but at least now I know it's not nonsensical.
- phlux 16y agoIt is also indicative of how uncreative the founders were. To me, I intuit this as clear confirmation that it was a company founded with no strategy other than to suckle from the teat of defense spending. How much you want to bet that the H. B. and G. of this company had ties/tenure in DoD or other governmental departments and were thus situated to reply to RFPs from their previous colleagues. This is very common in the MIC.
- jarin 16y agoMy question is what did Jon Gary do to get his whole name in there?

- khafra 16y agoWhich, in retrospect, looks like it may have been smart enough to deserve the extra visibility.
