Colby Fox received his undergraduate education at the Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT). He chose this university because of its renowned science, engineering, computer, and art programs.

Much like Colby, RIT takes a great interest in its community and strives to help others. Students at RIT have several charitable avenues to follow, such as Alternative Spring Break, Into the ROC, and The Hunger Project.
As an angel investor, venture capitalist, and entrepreneur, Colby constantly seeks new projects to support. He has been a stakeholder and sponsor of various enterprises, such as Tazwire, an internet service provider in Florida. Long a pioneer in fixed wireless data services, the business created a wireless router that provides greater internet coverage for various applications, including home security camera systems.
The highly fluctuating world of batteries goes beyond supply and demand. Each year, new sustainable, green power sources are added to the mix for general-purpose use, and some startups are at the forefront of this evolution. Colby Fox became a Millennium Energy Group shareholder because of their dedication to ecologically friendly production as they develop, manufacture, and provide support for unique, sophisticated energy storage systems like the E-SOURCETM power cells. Clean-energy-storage technology that’s cost-effective is a goal that aligns perfectly with Colby’s views.
Additionally, Colby is in great demand as a consultant and teacher. As the Principle of Respected Consulting Services, a business he created about 15 years ago, he mentors others and appreciates this element of his work.
