EXPERIENCE:

Founder/CEO - Housing International, Inc.

1998-2014

I founded Housing International in 1998 after extensive research and

international travel in a search for automated housing production and

methodologies. We partnered with Morgan Stanley (New York), to construct a

Housing plant in New Orleans, Louisiana after Hurricane Katrina. We also

brought in the AFL-CIO Housing Investment Trust as a minority

Investor/Partner.

We constructed houses for temporary and emergency shelter, as well as

subdivision and mid-level housing in order to alleviate the housing crisis

in Lousiana and Mississippi, which required 250,000-300,000 homes after the

damage of Hurricane Katrina. We established a paid Pre-Apprentice program

that not only supplied skill sets to disadvantaged people, but also created

life-changing opportunities and jobs for hundreds of graduates.

Housing International, Inc. was designed to provide automated and rapid

construction methods for mass housing projects, particularly focused on

slum replacement and lower to middle income projects in the United States

and internationally in South America, Mexico, and Korea. Housing

International provided turn-key services, from planning, design,

infrastructure, complete construction, and sales/marketing of the completed

turn-key units. We obtained proprietary rights to specialized

containerized housing process that allows for worldwide shipment of

complete houses and materials in one all-inclusive package, otherwise known

as a House-In-A-Box.

My particular areas of involvement included developing new markets and new

technology, negotiating large construction/development contracts, fiscal

oversight, marketing, initiating expansion into international markets, and

promoting local job creation/training programs with all projects.

Recent focus has been on International projects, particularly in Nigeria

and other parts of Africa, as well as Haiti, Brazil, and Columbia. Our

mission has been to supply low cost shelter to the disadvantaged utilizing

technology and green materials, solar and telecommunications in remote

areas, while at the same time supplying jobs and income to thousands of

people around the world.

Original Investor/CEO - TMEX 1992-1998

I was an original investor and Chief Executive Officer of TMEX, a fully

licensed and equipped International Telecommunications and High-Speed

Internet service based on proprietary technology utilizing satellite and

laser transmission for distribution of communications. I negotiated

contracts with worldwide customers, as well as other Telecommunication

companies, to provide interconnection services between the TMEX laser/fiber-

optic systems and other carriers' networks. I traveled extensively to many

third world countries and worked with Government and relief agencies to

provide high-speed internet and telecommunications to rural areas.

Managing Partner - Lohmar, a Joint Venture with Marriott Corporation

1988-1992

Lohmar became the leading Hospitality/Healthcare linen and garment

processing provider in the USA, also offering consulting for food service,

purchasing, housekeeping, and other service areas. As Managing Partner of

the joint venture, I oversaw 5,000 employees in 12 operating plants

(cutting-edge facilities, which I directed the design, construction, and

equipment), generating income in excess of $350 Million per year. I

provided leadership, business strategies, and was closely involved with

fundraising, sales, and marketing to a broad range of clients, including

Hyatt International, Starwood Hotel Corporate, and Non-Profit Health

organizations, such as Kaiser Permanente and others across the country. I

sold my 50% interest to Marriott in 1992 and continued as a strategic

consultant for approximately 1 year.
