v WORK HISTORY

****-******* ******, *********

Class B Hot Shot driving job, delivering equipment to mining

companies and refineries located throughout the United States

and Canada.

2002-2013 Driver, B-Line Express Courier Service, Inc. Class B CDL

Worked as an independent contractor for 3 years then as a company

employed for 8 years delivering freight and food in the

Denver Metro area, and to outlying areas including Arizona,

Colorado, Iowa, Kansas, New Mexico, Nebraska, North and South

Dakota, Utah, and Wyoming. Equipment used: 24 foot

refrigerated and dry diesel trucks, 14 & 12 foot refrigerated

diesel trucks, and refrigerated vans.

1999-2007 Owner and General Manager, AccuMail, Inc.

AccuMail provided graphic design, electronic printing and mail

services to retail businesses. Principle responsibilities

involve sales, graphic design, printing production, and mail

preparation for Bar-coded Standard and 1st Class, automation

compatible mail. Contact was made to businesses promoting my

services helping companies to communicate through direct mail

to their customers or to prospective customers promoting

their services and promotional incentives.

This was a home based business, and after 8

years the market had changed to very sophisticated, high cost

electronic printing equipment. I would have had to invest in

such equipment if this business was to survive and I chose to

close the business rather than go into debt in an industry

that was declining due to decreased direct mail volume.

2000-2002 Co-owner and President, Wheels America Advertising, Rocky

Mountain Franchise

This company was the Colorado franchise for the national

franchise network of Wheels America Advertising. Wheels

America was a back lighted mobile billboard advertising media

involved in business promotion for national and local

companies, such as Einstein Bagels, Eddie Bowers, The Reserve

Fund, The Denver Business Journal, and Fujitsu.

My principle responsibilities were in marketing and

developing our website showcasing advertising jobs our

company had completed and general information regarding the

media. And after the sale was complete, my duties included

business operations, the establishment of advertising routes,

human resources, employee schedules, and general business

operations.

After 9-11, this type of advertising was completely wiped out

and one-by-one our franchises nationwide started closing down

their business due to lack of business, and our company was

not excluded from this loss. We did however, walk away from

this business owing no one, all debts were paid in full.

1979-1999 Owner and General Manager, Express Press, Inc./Printing &

Mailing

I started this company in December of 1979, operating one

press, a folder, a plate maker, and a paper cutter in a

retail space of 360 sq. ft. By 1995 it had grown to over one

million in sales with 17 full-time employees in a warehouse-

office location with 7200 sq. ft. In 1981 we added mail

services to our product line, which grew to become our niche

area, with a production of 2 million pieces of mail processed

annually. In 1998 we were recognized by the Denver Business

Journal as one of the top 25 mail processing firms in the

Denver area.

All sales initially were my responsibility, growing the

company from $0 to $40,000/month, and after the addition of

four salespeople; the company grew to over $1,000,000 dollars

annually. We conducted sales training, sent employees to Dale

Carnegie Sales Training, and produced direct mail promotional

materials and company brochures promoting our printing and

mail services.

For 20 years I was focused on all aspects of the business,

including: sales and sales management, human resources,

finance, manufacturing operations, training, company manuals,

scheduling, production, business planning, and TQM quality

control procedures based upon the Deming method. I understand

the importance of highly trained people, well-maintained

equipment, great customer service, on-time delivery, and a

quality product, all which are necessary for the success of

any business operation.

In 1999 I sold the business.

1977-1979 Sales Representative, Inland Steel--Milcor Building Products

Division

Traveled from Montana to El Paso and from Denver to Salt Lake

City promoting building products through seminars to

architects, and one-on-one sales to building contractors, and

retail merchandisers. The company's major products were

structural steel studs, and metal lath products.

Much of the time was spent promoting the structural steel

aspects of our steel studs to architects through seminars and

personal contact. The balance of my time was spent contacting

contractors and retail establishments, bidding on and selling

metal products.

1973-1977 Sales Representative, American Excelsior Company

Traveled northern Colorado, Wyoming, Montana, and North and

South Dakota selling a multitude of products. The major

products lines sold were, oil exploration products, urethane

foam, swamp cooler accessories, packaging materials, and

floor coverings.

1971-1973 U.S. Army Infantry Officer

As an Infantry Lieutenant I acted as a company platoon

leader, company motor pool maintenance officer, and assistant

Brigade intelligence-operations officer while stationed in

the US and overseas.

v EDUCATION

Bachelor of Business Degree, Major in Economics with a minor

in Business, from

Western Illinois University.

Dale Carnegie, "Leadership Training for Managers."

Infantry Officer's Candidate School Ft. Benning, GA

v VOLUNTEER

1999-Present Bible Study Leader, Youth for Christ, Mount View Youth

Detention Center-Denver

As a volunteer, I spend time presenting the Gospel to

troubled youth, most of which are a product of a

dysfunctional family, usually where the Dad is no where to be

found. For the majority, they are dejected, angry, and

hopeless with little guidance in how to relate to life. There

is a lot of gang membership, violence, hatred, drug and

alcohol addiction, and un-wed pregnancy among these young men

ages 12-18.

I attempt to give them hope by promoting a God who loves them

and has a wonderful plan for their life if they will only

believe and trust Him. I try to show them that the life that

they are now living, is bringing them consequences that

v PERSONALITY

Cooperate with others to get the job done, am a team player

but focused and when necessary, able to operate alone; also

practical, precise, and have good follow through.

Strongly task oriented, leading by setting the example with

the ability to train and check for compliance with

directions. Grounded in a realistic approach to life, a

conventional perspective, preferring to work with reliable

procedures, rather than waste time attempting to reinvent the

wheel. Good at carrying out established procedures, ability

to master a work process and remain on course with it, rather

than succumb to distractions or tangents.

I prefer variety and working with smaller groups, teaching,

guiding and directing vs. presentations to larger groups. I

am tough minded, good at making objective decisions and like

to keep things moving; also logical and enjoy being accurate,

helpful, organized, and prepared without being a high-risk

taker.
