"Tech" Huffman.
Jonathan's company, Maximum Entertainment, utilizes proprietary
online and established offline methods to discover, develop, promote,
distribute and merchandise entertainment content, all leading to
a more "wired" and interactive entertainment future. Maximum
Entertainment's Internet division, Maximum Networks, is currently
developing a Digital Music System code named AROS. AROS removes
numerous economic and geographic barriers and revolutionizes how
record & film companies, record producers, radio stations, and
fans "interact" with one-another. Jonathan believes that
this convergence of the music/film business, technology and interactive
media will forever change how entertainment is produced marketed
and consumed.

called him "High Tech" (later shortened to "Tech")
