Career Summary:

Twenty eight years of executive experience successfully managing operations

and personnel in diverse organizations/projects both as a civilian and a

Marine Corps Officer. Over the course of the last seven years I have

managed both an international airport, and international property/business

project. Each of these organizations required me to manage, coordinate

with, and train civilians, and foreign nationals.

Recent Achievements:

Designed and developed an investment/business in an emerging Southeast Asia

tourist destination. Utilizing the three previous years work experience in

Southeast Asia, established a profitable property investment/business in an

international market. Within two years this property/business was appraised

with a 110% appreciation on the initial investment by independent auditor,

even during a worldwide economic downturn.

. Identified a developing market and property location.

. Established two overseas limited companies to ensure property rights.

. Developed a business plan, taking into account the foreign laws and

regulations.

. Established a funding plan and identified the funding resources.

. Developed renovation plan and oversaw the renovation utilizing foreign

contractors and laborers.

. Designed and managed an integrated accounting and inventory control

system.

. Hired and trained a strong management team.

Managed all administrative and operational functions, as well as

facilities, for an international airport in Okinawa Japan. This airport,

Marine Corps Air Station Futenma, is arguably the most politically

sensitive airport in the Pacific region; under extreme political scrutiny

and with numerous foreign national demonstrations. At the time of my

arrival this airport had severe budget shortfalls and had a high incidence

of runway incursions. In three short years I was able to realign funding

priorities to negate budget shortfalls and reorganize and retrain the Air

Traffic Control (ATC) department, sharply reducing runway incursions.

. Oversaw extensive renovation of airport's ATC facilities and

equipment.

. Re-organized personnel staffing leading to a balanced airport budget.

. Conducted safety review and re-training of ATC personnel, sharply

reducing runway incursions.

Managed a corporate jet aviation service in Southeast Asia. Prior to my

arrival, this organization's established service area was Korea, Japan and

the Philippines. I was able to expand the organization's service area

seven fold to airports as far east as Kwajalein in the Marshall Islands, as

far west as the

Maldives in the Indian Ocean and as far south as Australia. During this

same period I identified new client sources and tripled the customer base.

. Established excellent working relationships with embassies throughout

Southeast Asia; coordinating with embassy contract personnel, as well

as foreign civilian personnel and government officials.

. Created efficiencies within the corporate air service in order to

maximize service without reducing the reliability or seat capacity of

the previously established service area.

. Developed a web based scheduling system; reducing errors and creating

efficiencies.

. Established support and funding for additional aircraft.

. Marketed the business in a non-profit oriented organization, where the

direct competition was a business class seat aboard a reputable

international airline.

. Won the Department of Defense Transportation award.
