- name: Mike Bernhardt

affiliation: Oak Ridge National Laboratory

github-id: mikeb650

bio: "Mike Bernhardt started the Bernhardt Agency in 1994, focused on helping companies in the HPC market segment. After less than a year of running the agency from an office in downtown Portland, and dealing with the frustration of parking, commuter traffic, and the rising cost of office space, he decided to take the company virtual. He ran this agency, and two subsequent agencies as virtual organizations for 19 years, eventually employing more than 25 full-time employees working from their homes offering communications services to companies throughout the HPC ecosystem in North America. In 2001, 2002, and 2003, his [virtual] agency was named the top marketing agency to work for by Oregon Business magazine, and in 2003 it took top honors as the #1 small business to work for in Oregon. Mike currently leads communications and outreach for ECP."
