Who We Are

Marcus D. Thierry

As the founder and owner of Joseph & Company, Mr. Thierry states that it has been estimated by the American Academy of Sleep Medicine “that over the last 6 years approximately 300-350 private sleep beds” have been opened in the United States through the efforts of Mr. Thierry and his team. Mr. Thierry is very proud to have been one of the pioneers that have spearheaded 35 of those facilities and 220 of those sleep beds — all intended to make a difference in our community, foster relationships with physicians and create value for all who are involved.

His developments have had a $5.3M impact alone on just the sales of sleep diagnostic equipment, an estimated impact of $20M in development, assets and real estate, over $40M in collections and the creation of over 200 jobs. Over the last 12 months, Mr. Thierry has partnered with over 100 physicians in sleep labs while raising over $2.5M in equity (in those same labs).  While supporting Vaughn Medical as its Congressional Liasion and Board Member, Mr. Thierry has helped increase awareness of the value that Service Disabled Veteran Owned Companies play within the American marketplace.  Currently, Mr. Thierry is working with Vaughn Medical and other SDVOSB companies in the capacity of marketing and management - to help grow their businesses.
