Career Objective:

Acquire and develop a leading managerial position within a company,

college or an association that recognizes and rewards good business

ethics, solid business practices and the ability to train and

motivate a diverse team of employees.

Education Background:

College: Wright State University, Dayton, OH; completed all course

work except externship toward the MS in Social and Applied Economics

Miami University, Oxford, OH; BA in Economics

High School: Colonel White High School, Dayton, OH

Other: Many managerial, training, and software seminars

Military:

Honorably discharged from United States Air Force, I was an Air

Operations Specialist filing flight plans and providing weather and

other information to pilots; stationed in Tampa, FL and the

Philippine Islands.

Professional and Personal:

I have been a member of the American Association of School

Administrators. I served as a member of the Board of Directors for

the Michigan Association of Career Schools. I served as a member of

the Skillman Grant Team-Royal Oak School District, a State funded

effort to provide better technical education alternatives to high

school students. I have participated in various Chamber of Commerce

functions. I have taken particular interest in personal and

classroom leadership skills and have achieved success with

management teams in a variety of circumstances.

Work Experience:

Most of my assignments have been to turn around failing operations.

From smaller start up operations to larger sized schools, I have

been successful in identifying and resolving the problems

prohibiting efficiency and growth.

ATI Enterprises, Inc., North Richland Hills, TX 8/2008-Present

Originally hired to open a training center in Austin, TX, due to

real estate difficulties and other matters, I was assigned to work

for the corporate Education and Accreditation Department. I created

ACCSC accreditation applications for new programs, new satellites,

and new branches. I also produced ACCSC Facility Expansion Reports

and put together a number of new programs that were subsequently

implemented in various schools. I was the company coordinator of

all required change of ownership part II documentation, preparing

each school's submission for ACCSC approval. Due to relocation

difficulties, my employment ended February 25, 2011.

In December of 2010, I was asked by the ATI CEO to be the Campus

President for the ATI Career Training Center in North Richland

Hills, TX as it has been experiencing operational problems, among

others. This flagship school for the Company is located next door

to the ATI home office.

Lamson Institute, Austin, TX 6/2007-5/2008

Campus Director: Delta Career Education Corporation hired me to

start a new school in Austin. Due to Company restructuring, delays

in approval processing afforded me the opportunity to benefit Delta

by serving as interim director in schools where director turnover

had occurred. I spent nearly four months in three schools in

California, Arizona and Texas. Having submitted the Texas

application for the Austin approval in February 2008, I worked with

the Texas Workforce Commission to obtain state approval.

Surprisingly, Delta then made the decision to not open the school in

Austin since their new campus in San Antonio, TX had gotten off to a

rather slow start.

Concorde Career Institute, Tampa, FL 5/2006-2/2007

Campus President: I took this position as a challenge with the

understanding that, given the condition of the school, it would take

considerable time and many changes in order to return the school to

a competitive, high performing operation. While at Concorde I

worked to improve staff performance by replacing unqualified or

negative employees, hire replacements for long-standing vacant

positions, improved managerial and employee relations and attitudes

within the school, upgraded student services, repaired damaged

student and facility equipment, and positioned the school for future

implementation of new programs as a basis for growth. I identified

a critical problem source within the Company.

Ohio Institute of Photography and Technology (OIP&T), a Kaplan

school, Dayton, OH 7/2000-5/2006

Executive Director, President: I managed and directed all aspects of

the college's functions including budgeting, admissions,

advertising, financial aid, education and career services. Starting

in July 2000, I lead the school from a census of 260 students to

over 700 students. I implemented three programs, graphic design,

criminal justice and pharmacy technician. I revised two programs,

creating a multimedia discipline (major) as a result. The school

progressed steadily from a near break-even status when I started to

being on budget to make 3.2 million when I left on May 1, 2006.

This school offered five associate degree and two diploma programs.

ITT Educational Services, Inc. (until year 2000)

Director; Troy, MI: I planned, organized and directed education,

placement, recruitment, finance and student services functions using

the human and financial resources within the college to meet local

and Company objectives. This school was guided through the

complicated and political state procedure of becoming the first

degree-granting proprietary school within the state of Michigan.

Later, the school sought and attained ACICS accreditation, becoming

one of the first ITT schools to become ACICS accredited. The school

grew from approximately 100 students to over 600 under my

supervision and generated a bottom line of nearly two million my

last full year there. This school offered associate degree programs

only.

Assistant Director; Indianapolis, IN: I was responsible for all

aspects of the school's operation similar to above but concentrated

especially in the education and career services areas. During this

time I was assigned to oversee an ITT school in Schaumburg, IL as

interim director for four months. Numerous changes were made in the

operation of that start-up school as they were struggling with

turnover, education and admissions problems. The school offered

associate and bachelor degree programs.

Director of Financial and Administrative Services; Indianapolis, IN:

I was asked to transfer from Dayton to Indianapolis to resolve the

finance and financial aid difficulties in the flagship school for

the Company. I managed all aspects of the finance department

including financial aid, forecasting, budgeting, and expense

control. As this was the largest school in the ESI system, my

department included 10 employees. The department developed to

achieve less than 0% bad debt the last year I was in this position.

I was promoted to Assistant Director.

Finance Manager; Dayton, OH: I managed all aspects of the finance

department including financial aid, forecasting, budgeting, and

expense control. Being the school's first finance manager, I

established the working structure of the department and hired and

trained new employees to fill the various positions.

Instructor; Dayton, OH: I taught Economics to associate degree

students before being asked to take the Finance Manager position.
