Striped Rock, LLC was created in 2005 by Bill Sweezy and Missy Johnson to offer senior network marketing and media solutions. Since that time, the company has distributed over half a million resource directory copies. In addition to contract publishing and media placement, the firm also offers senior industry marketing expertise and event promotion services.
