transferred it over.”
Speed of business
At the time of this interview, Eric Griffith was in
his fourth week at Recovery Force as senior product
development engineer. He had been about 18 months
into a 30-month project at his previous employer, a
large organization with the required decision-making
levels and processes.
“The speed that these guys have been going at is really
impressive. It’s exciting to be part of it,” he exclaims.
And while speed might not be the first thing that
comes to mind – recall that this adventure started four-
plus years ago with Wyatt working on potential ideas
in his basement – groundbreaking business
developments are not an everyday occurrence.
“Going fast is a differentiator between us and
larger companies, but we’re not going fast at a risk,”
Wyatt concludes. “We followed FDA guidelines; we
followed quality systems. To not miss anything and still
be going as fast as we are, that takes a lot of discipline
and commitment.”
While the Recovery Force story has been told on
these pages over the past year, it’s clear that the best is
yet to come.

When winter comes, McKinnis moves indoors and practices woodworking.
He refinishes antique furniture for his wife, Cathy, and builds furniture for his
family. One of his upcoming projects is making new arms for his son’s deck chairs
as the dog confused them for chew toys, he laughs.
Classical music is also one of McKinnis’ loves. He and his wife often visit the
Lafayette Symphony and occasionally attend the Symphony on the Prairie at
Connie Prairie.
“When my wife and I visit our children in Chapel Hill, North Carolina and
Dallas, Texas, we visit their local symphonies while we’re there. They enjoy the
music as well.”
It’s fitting that McKinnis’ long-time leadership of Indiana INTERNnet and his
dedication to student success has been “sweet music” to many over the years.
