Our Founders

Our Founders
The Soundside Group was founded in 2000 by Alice Winslow and Mark Hendrix, colleagues who had worked together at Weyerhaeuser's Pulp and Paper Complex in Plymouth, NC. Alice led on the software side, Mark on the hardware side, and together they built a reputation for technical excellence and exceptional customer service. Recognizing an unmet need in the region, they left Weyerhaeuser to launch The Soundside Group, combining their complementary expertise to bring enterprise-grade technology to businesses and municipalities across Eastern North Carolina. Both have since passed, and their legacy lives on in the team and the mission they established.
