Local Work Force, Global Focus
While employing some of the best technical employees in the business, we also have some of the most senior and seasoned account management, recruiting and technical operations management in the professional services business. Our team delivers the highest caliber resources for the best possible price. We are highly efficient in the way we recruit for our clients. Meridian’s recruiting staff is located at our corporate office in Portland and in Arizona and Washington. Even though our recruiters are located throughout the western United States, they act as a centralized unit when sourcing candidates for our clients.
Business Process
Because of our experience, we will not waste your time presenting candidates that almost qualify. We take the proper steps to understand your requirements and then deliver a technical resource that matches that requirement for the contracted price. We ensure that any candidate that is presented is available to work and that the candidate is delivered to the project on time.

Finally, we regularly monitor and supervise our consultants while assigned to your projects. We do not view this as your responsibility. Because Meridian has a full employment model and not a “contractor” mentality, we continually ensure that our employees are performing to expectation. In addition, we ensure that employee problems, if any, are addressed on a timely basis.


Richard Creson President
With a background in the information technology field dating back to 1966, D. Richard Creson founded Meridian Technology Group in 1990. As the company's president, he is the driving force behind its uncompromised growth and success over the years.

Richard began his career at the Ford Motor Company World Headquarters in Dearborn, Michigan, then one of the largest data processing facilities in the world. After working at Ford, he then served in information technology-related positions for various companies until earning his Bachelor of Business Administration / Accounting Degree from the University of South Florida in 1975. From that point forward, Richard's focus broadened to include finance and accounting.

After college, Richard returned to the Ford Motor Company World Headquarters where he served as systems audit manager from 1975 to 1980. Then in 1980, Richard moved to Portland, Oregon, where he was the manager of systems audit for Evans Products Company. Three years later, he moved to San Francisco to be the financial controller of San Francisco, California-based Impell Corporation. In 1986, Richard returned to Portland as the controller and chief financial officer of Impell-Pacific (a start-up venture between Impell Corporation and PacifiCorp based in Portland, Oregon). In 1989, Richard was named general manager of Systems Integration Services for Impell-Pacific. Recognizing a void in the information technology consulting field, Richard put his extensive business and technical experience to work and formed Meridian Technology Group.
