The United States of America (USA) happens to be one of the best countries in the world as far as entrepreneurship is concerned and perhaps one of the most reputed names in this regard would be that of Peter Loftin . Loftin is one of those few businessmen who believe in giving back to the community that has birthed them and helped them rise through the ranks to achieve prominence in a country that happens to be as competitive as the USA. Apart from being one of the top entrepreneurs of the country he happens to be a charitable individual as well, as has been stated already.

His father, Robert G Loftin had served the US Armed Forces during the Korean War. Loftin senior has also served at the US Government Social Security Administration.

The start
It was in the telecommunications industry that Peter Loftin made his mark as a businessman. His rise also coincided with the breakup of the monopoly enjoyed by the Bell Telephones. It was in 1983 that he set up and consequently led Business Telecom Inc (BTI). This company was based out of Raleigh, NC. The caliber of Loftin as a businessman could be gauged to an extent from the success that BTI achieved under him in becoming one of the leading telecom companies in the North American country.
In fact, as far as Raleigh was concerned BTI happened to be the biggest provider of jobs among all the privately held companies. He was named the North Carolina Entrepreneur of the Year by the Business North Carolina Magazine. It was in 1999 that an independent research group named the New Paradigm Resources placed BTI in the seventh place in the USA as far as the best local exchange carriers were concerned. For the purpose of this ranking exercise, the New Paradigm Resources took into account companies that were earning at least 400 million dollars in yearly revenues at that point in time.
