The company's new office is at 3751 Teays Valley Road. The additional employees are:

Daniel Carter, a 12-year technology veteran who helps Global Science & Technology support a variety of projects for state agencies, joined the company last year. He previously worked for Ablesoft in Charleston.
Marc Beacom, who has worked as a consultant and information technology sales professional in state government and commercial markets for 20 years. He currently is an account manager and recruiter. He has expertise in document imaging and data management solutions; outsourced application development projects; and recruiting and staffing. He joined the company in May.

Jeff Sines, a Gulf War veteran. His background includes computer and document-imaging systems. He joined the company in July. He previously worked for EMC Corp. in Charleston.
Wadsworth said Global Science & Technology sees a lot of potential in the Kanawha Valley market and plans to hire more people in the near future.

"GST already has a strong track record of providing cost-effective and efficient technology solutions to the state and we believe our new office and capable staff will be keys to expanding our success story," he said.

Global Science & Technology was established in 1991. The company is headquartered in Greenbelt, Md. The company bought TMC Technologies Inc. of Fairmont in March 2005.
