OBJECTIVE AND MISSION

To obtain a developing position allowing me to utilize my leadership experience and

background to create dynamic success for both the company and myself. Currently I

work with private investments, funding for unique projects across the country for start-

up businesses. My projects recently have varied from proprietary trading, to renewable

energy, real estate development and Oil & Gas technology. I am looking to enhance my

own development and redirect my career in the Oil and Gas Industry, reconnecting to an

area I have neglected since college.

EXPERIENCE

President/Owner 1995-2009

Big Country Construction Inc. Sedalia, Colorado (Denver area)

As president and owner, I was also the general contractor and developer, project

manager and in charge of brand development and marketing. I retained all certification

and licensing for BCCI in Douglas county and surrounding areas.

I managed more than 14 crews at one time while working through the phases of

planning, engineering, road integration, excavation, foundation, erection, selling and

marketing. BCCI did everything from the ground up to completion, including full-scale

development, architecture and design. We developed everything from complete

remodels and teardowns to building large custom luxury residential homes at $1 million

or more. BCCI had the largest designer basement division in the gated community

Castle Pines over a 5-year period. In this community, BCCI developed and designed

over 48 basements with projects costing from $280.00 to $360.00 per sq ft. On creative

side projects, BCCI designed and handcrafted a 6000 bottle wine cellar of stained

redwood and mahogany for the owner of Silver Oaks Wine Cellar. At the commercial

level, BCCI worked with dental offices integrating new state of the art equipment and

technologies. With Kinko’s Corporation, our projects required remodeling and

expanding their business entities in the Denver area.

Certified Mortgage Banker 2001-2008

Paramount Home Loans Denver, Colorado

Having been educated in lending software and online entry I handled everything from

lead generation to appraisals, loan modifications, loan application packaging, credit

enhancement, loan processing, FHA, Fannie Mae, residential and commercial funding.

Mortgage banking is about creating relationships and I developed a reputation for

making the impossible possible!

President/Owner 1990-1995

Elmwood Burbank Corporation Carmel, California

Elmwood was a product development company specializing in soft goods from

inventive patented designs to commercial incentive products. I was responsible for all

aspects of business ownership including innovative design work and skills unique to

this industry such as registering design patents. I handled all negotiating agreements

with overseas entities and Mexican manufacturers as well as the shipping logistics and

port of entry taxation. Elmwood manufactured products such as Pac Sac Coolers (high-

end fashion neoprene tubed cooler), trendy computer bags and the first animal reflective

leashes and collars: Hero’s Pet Products . This company achieved over $1 million a

year in sales.

Project Manager 1982-1989

Thirty Three Hundred Corporation League City, Texas

I managed and developed a 90-unit marina subdivision project. I was involved in

planning, re-zoning, improving land appraisal, lending criteria, development and the

heavy equipment excavation. Due to flood plan regulations and tide levels, this project

was engineered completely on above ground caissons . As Project Manager, I

negotiated tap fees and developed agreements with local jurisdiction critical to create

future investments establishing the basis for the future development phases.
