Larry Taghon has built a reputation as the Mac guy -- and rightfully so. The 41-year-old began his career selling Apple products as a target market representative at a now-defunct Computerland in Columbus, Ga., in 1987. Four years later, he branched out to focus on independent Apple support services. In 1994, Taghon and wife Kimberly founded Graphicom, selling and servicing Apple products for businesses.
