Resume:

David E. West **** Sunset Drive

East Peoria, IL *1611

PH: 719-***-****

Professional Summary:

My early work history included management of small groups from 2 or 3 up to 12 to 15 employees in several businesses

dating back to 1993. These businesses ranged from planning, installing, and managing waste management/recycle

programs in school systems and college campuses in 3 states. Additionally, my career moved into the development,

construction and installation oversight of the manufacturing facilities which I designed and patented. These facilities

produced specialty “green” construction products utilizing recycled materials. I was responsible for completing the

budgets and estimates, development of supply chains as well as source discovery and purchasing. Additionally I

oversaw the installation of the manufacturing equipment, and consequently managed two R&D phases of the two

facilities. I was also responsible for field installation training for the construction products manufactured for both

residential and commercial projects. I have experience in the US as well as in China.

Core Qualifications:

Management and Team Building

Construction Project Planning, Oversight and Management

Problem solving in both the manufacturing and construction fields

Project budgeting and estimating.

Experience:

2006 to Current – Founder, President and Head of Operations, Millennium Technologies, Inc.

Colorado Springs, CO. See: www.millenniumblok.com

My work history here includes the development of MillenniumBlok® lightweight construction block and

the manufacturing facilities. I developed the budgets, raised the initial capital, went through the

Research & Development phase, acquired patents, and perfected the manufacturing processes and

methods. Set up Micro “testing” plants in Colorado Springs, CO and Panama City Beach, FL. A number

of structures were constructed to prove market acceptance and feasibility. Had responsibility for

overseeing the two R&D manufacturing facilities at all management levels including estimating and

budgets as well as trained and managed up to 12 employees. Additionally, I was responsible for installation

training for these construction products in the field for both residential and commercial projects.

o In 2008 a license was sold to a Chinese/Canadian group. Multiple trips to that region were

required to set up the plant and complete training for both the Installers and members of the

team that would be running the plant. Was able to enter North Korea with my Chinese partners

to look at the feasibility of a plant there, however after Kim Jon II passed away that possibility

dissolved. See:

1996 to 2006 - Co-founder of Moriah Industries, Inc. - Rome, GA

While in the material handling industry, I co-founded Moriah Industries, Inc., with a school teacher after

selling his high school a baler for baling cardboard. He hoped to develop a recycling program in his school but

required technical assistance. Over a period of 2 years we acquired grants from the State of Georgia and was

able to develop and manufacture user friendly items from dumpsters to classroom student containers to

specialized hall collection carts. We also completed training throughout the school for staff and students.

During that time we acquired the entire waste management contract for all 23 schools in the Floyd County

School System and 3 area college campuses. Within 2 years we acquired a management contract in

Columbus, OH, which included the setting up of 63 schools in Franklin County, OH with the campus recycling

system that we had developed in Georgia.. We were also able to secure a contract to set up the recycling

program with the Duval County schools via a grant we received to develop a procedure to recycle

polystyrene. See:
