Ken Brown (“Brown”)

Resume (Narrative Format)

Experience: Entrepreneur, who has owned and operated many businesses, including, but not limited to Business Colleges; extension centers for academic colleges; an Educational Consultant Company; commercial real estate; an Athletic Club, (consisting of indoor and outdoor tennis courts (16), racquetball courts, a restaurant/lounge/bar; a gymnastic studio, and training gym). These ventures were very successful. Brown was also a Sub-S shareholder in a small, but successful, “oil recycling facility” in Hanceville, Alabama, which he organized, promoted, developed and sold in the 90’s. He owned, or partially owned several other businesses and participated in several financial ventures, some of which were not successful.

Brown was successful in organizing a Company (“Tower Acceptance Corporation”) involved in financing investment for oil and gas syndications from 1987 to 1991. The Company services were no longer needed and the company became inactive, after its successful tenure. He also owned one collection agency, financing tuition for students attending business colleges owned by Brown and his associates.

During the 1990 election, Brown ran for U.S. Congress, as an independent in the Sixth District of Tennessee. He spent a total of $300 on his campaign and captured 4% of the votes. The incumbent won the congressional seat.

In 1993, Brown worked with Lobbyist from Little Rock, Arkansas (Larry C. Wallace, Esq.), and Washington, D.C. (Wayne Bishop, Esq.), involving issues in the Middle East, and Northern Africa. Larry is a democrat and Bishop, a republican. From 1993 through 2004, Brown was closely associated with David Howe, former Senior Vice President of NationsBank. Howe and Brown were members of the Nashville Committed on Foreign Relations and attended meetings in Washington, D.C. sponsored by the CFR (Council on Foreign Relations).

Howe was involved in international banking for a number of years, and had close ties to the Howard Baker Law Firm (Senator Baker). Together, Howe and Brown promoted several ventures, including financial transaction in Isle of Man, Malta, Denmark, and Costa Rica. In, or around 1995, Brown became involved in the “Currency Exchange Business” in Costa Rica, which had an eight years success records until his associates in Costa Rica were closed by the Costa Rican government. Costa Rica is a typical “banana republic” controlled by self-serving “political narcissist.” Unfortunately, the principals of the exchange were political enemies of those who gained control of the government, and “these government culprits” closed the exchange. David Howe, former Senior Vice President of Nations Bank was also involved, as well as investors in Ft Wayne, Indiana, and a lawyer, Michael Sterling (he and Brown were “partners”).

After the “Costa Rican venture,” Brown traded his own financial accounts for about four years with moderate success; later was engaged to do some consulting work for a company located in Europe (John Slater paid Brown to assist in due diligence to get Slater’s company, “Slater Business Solutions,” listed on the OTC exchange): and a few other ventures, one was a trading program, prior to trading his own account in 2003 and 2004, which lasted about two years, and was eventually closed due to downturns in the financial markets.

At one time Brown was successful in getting the company listed on the Berlin Exchange in 2013. Europe, at that time had thriving markets. Brown still retains a good relationship with Renell, the third largest Market Maker in Germany, and Ansen, a Registrar in the UK, as well as Company’s House, a UK agent enabling “Companies to be listed, as one in Good Standing,”

He resigned from the public company in December 2013. The Company is no longer trading.

Brown was a member of the Baldwin County, Alabama Republican Executive Committee for almost two terms until he resigned for personal family reasons.

Brown served as a consultant for Defender Hones from 2012 until 2014. The Company’s future is questionable, as a result of a dispute between the CEO and investors. Brown is no longer associated with the Company. He organized the Company, supervised the Builder’s (CEO) performance, and actually was involved in overseeing the construction of a model home, built to withstand hurricanes, and as a showplace. Brown was instrumental in composing a Private Offering Memorandum, Business Plan, and assisted in filing for exemptions with the various required agencies, on behalf of the Company. He was also involved in marketing, advertising, and public relations for the Company.

Brown served as the CFO and Compliance Officer with Rotomolding Enterprise Holdings, Inc. located in Little Falls, Minnesota for four years. He was involved with financial, and legal aspect of the Company. He also negotiates various agreements involving funding, financial, and legal matters. The Company is currently in financial distress and for this reason, Brown has an agreement to divest his interest. The Company’s operational cost exceeds its income (Brown will disclose further information, if needed).

Note the following (Written by Ken Brown): While working with lobbyist in 1993 and 1994, and 1995 (about 18 months), I was introduced to George Hallaq, with whom I developed a relationship. Spiro Aramanis, a Greek American, introduced me to Hallaq, who was “the advisor” to Andreas Papandreou, Prime Minister of Greece, until his death in 1996. I met and consulted with several international “leaders” during the time I worked on behalf of the lobbyist; especially, “Heads of State” located in Northern Africa.

Educational Background: Six years of college, including night classes and business courses, in Accounting, Business Law, Economics, and Race Relations (Attended Oakwood College, a predominantly black college for the race relations course). Brown earned a degree in Business from Columbia College, located in Columbia, Missouri was never received (a matter involving the then Vice President of the college, Bill Brown, and a loss of records). Brown attended a “course” in preparation for a securities exam (Series 7), in 1978, which he passed; He also held a license to trade commodities and a Series 63 Securities License (all of which he voluntarily retired in 1990). In addition to the foregoing, Brown has finished several courses in sales and management, including courses in the McDonald Management Engineering programs, which included Wage and Salary Administration, Motion and Time Study, Production, and Quality Control. Brown has also been involved in trade unions when he was a young man working for Bell Telephone Company (Communication Workers of America).

Note Disclosure: Brown is 89; however, according to his medical records, He is in better physical condition than most men in their late 60’s! Unlike most, Brown supports “age discrimination,” as he feel that a company should have the right to accept or not accept an applicant for any reason; therefore, if his age ever becomes a factor, he understands!
