Bought 49% interest in Serv Tech Inc. and formed Serv Tech Group with 51%

100% of the project in house for oil companies (site, building &

underground petroleum). I streamlined all departments and implemented a job

costing accounting system to track cost for each project. I immediately

started marketing the Major Oil and Fortune 500 companies immediately by

showing them the advantages and cost savings of using one contractor that

could do both scopes of work in house which was very unique at that time in

the marketplace. Some of our clients that we were performing services for

included Mobil Oil, Shell Oil, Amoco Oil, Racetrac Petroleum, Hess Oil,

Dollar Rent A Car, Auto Nation, Ryder Truck, Chevron Oil, Costco,

McDonald's and various marinas in Florida. I sold the companies three

years later after successfully raising annual sales to $8.6 million while

also increasing gross profit margin.
