**** - ******* ***** ***********, * am president of this family owned

company. We do business as O'Brian's Irish Pub in Troy, Ohio.

My entire family is involved in the operation. We purchased the

assets of a previous bar, including the building, renovated the

facility and opened in June of 2004.

1999 - 2002 Enterprise Works, I was an independent counselor for this

organization. They had contracts with the Ohio Department of

Rehabilitation Services and the Veteran's Administration. I

evaluated business concepts, business plans, and assisted their

clients in writing business plans and then raising the necessary

funding if the plan merited it. I also taught a seminar on

entrepreneurship. Additionally I had a personal service

contract with the Ohio Department of Rehabilitation Services

evaluating financial statements of businesses they were going to

fund for the purpose of hiring the department's clients.

1995 - 2003 NCIC CapitalFund, NCIC is a $20 million not for profit venture

fund that targets investments in early stage technology based

companies for economic development. During my tenure there we

made fifty-five investments. I personally managed an active

portfolio of these companies. In addition to making investments

we also advised and mentored entrepreneurs while assessing their

business plans. Another portion of my responsibilities included

developing and implementing a marketing plan. This plan called

for the development of personal relationships with other

potential investors as well as those organizations or

individuals that were most likely to refer potential

opportunities to us. This approach was successful.

1987 - 1995 I was with County Corp for seven and a half years. I ran its

economic development department as Vice President of Economic

Development. When I started with the company it had a loan

portfolio of 43 loans totaling $4.9 million. During the seven

years that I directed the department we generated over 160 loans

totaling over $30 million. During that period County Corp

expanded its service territory from one to nine counties.

County Corp offered affordable financing to small businesses

through a number of lending vehicles including the SBA 504

Program and the Regional 166 Loan Program. We also offered an

Equity Investment Financing Program, Capital Plus, the Export-

Import Bank Loan Guarantee Program, a direct loan fund, and the

Child Care Mini Loan Program.

1985 - 1987 I operated as a sole proprietor (Hammond and Associates). I

was an independent sales representative for several clients

including IC Systems, a professional collection company

headquartered in Minnesota. During my first year representing

the company I was awarded the "Top Prospect" award and brought

to the corporate headquarters to meet the chairman and receive

the honor.

1982 - 1985 I was president of the Williams County Economic Development

Corporation (WENCO). This was a county wide economic

development operation in Northwest Ohio. I established a data

base, marketing plan, promotional materials, and a fund raising

plan. I coordinated the efforts of both the private and public

sectors as well as established an automatic response system that

not only responded to leads, but tracked and followed up with

them as well. One of our major successes was the acquisition

(by a private sector partnership) of a 250,000 sq. ft. vacant

manufacturing facility and converting it into a multiple tenant

building allowing for the creation of hundreds of jobs.

1979 - 1982 I was appointed by the mayor as the City of Tiffin, Ohio's

first Director of Development. This was a highly visible

position as spokesperson for the city in all development

efforts. I was the city's grant writer and special project

supervisor in addition to running all the community's economic

development efforts. I established a community profile,

response system, and marketing plan. I supervised the downtown

streetscape project, the West Market Street road widening

project, I created the "Uptown Tiffin" Campaign, initiated and

structured the financing for the Ritz Theatre purchase (as a key

anchor for the redevelopment of the central business district).

I also managed the city and county's Community Development Block

Grant (CDBG) programs.

1976 - 1977 Upon graduation I began working within the Development Division

of Heidelberg College, primarily in the admissions arena. I

developed relationships with high school counselors and

administrators throughout portions of Ohio, New Jersey, New

York, Indiana, and New Hampshire. I was responsible for making

direct contact with potential students, responding to inquiries,

planning special events, and attending college recruiting

conferences. I also served as liaison between the department and

a number of the standing faculty and administration committees.

EDUCATION AND PROFESSIONAL TRAINING

I received my Bachelor of Arts Degree from Heidelberg College.

I majored in Communication and Theatre Arts. My educational

training and in-college practical experience provided me with an

excellent background in public speaking, performance,

presentation, radio, film, television, writing, logic, debate,

and interpersonal interaction. While in college I received

numerous awards, on a national level, in public speaking and was

recognized in Who's Who in American Universities and Colleges.

I was also an active member in Alpha Psi Omega (national

dramatic fraternity) and Vice President of Pi Kappa Delta

(national public speaking fraternity).

I successfully completed their finance training series and was

I successfully completed the training of the Venture Capital
