I Started in Sales at the age of 14, and 43 years later it is still my passion. In my career, I have been a "Director of Sales", a "Sales Manager", a "VP of Sales", an "Operations Manager", an "Executive Vice-President" and/or an
"Owner/Shareholder" for an wide array of companies, such as, but not limited to: an Infomercial Company, an Online Retailer, an Indoor Sports Facility, a Collection Company, a T-Shirt Chain, assorted Financial Products, an Advertising Group, a Candy Company, Unclaimed Property Recovery and a Celebrity Event (usually Major League Baseball Players) Encounter Company. I was the driving force behind taking 3 Start-Up companies public with IPO's
(site2shop.com, shopsourceone.com & Romano's Macaroni Grill"). I was a 9/11 First Responder at Ground Zero 9/11/2001 to 9/13/2001. Loving Husband & Father of 2, Loyal, Hard Working, Ultimate Team Player Employment
Director of Research, Analysis & Sales Jun 2019 - Mar 2022 FRSUP (a/k/a RMG Recovery & GlasCoin), Pearl River, NY Started & founded this Company from scratch with the people at RMG/GlasCoin/FRS.
Found Unclaimed Property Claims for FR'S Corporate Clients & Prospects. Reviewed over 1,500,000 possible claims per day.
Worked directly with FRS UP's IT Department developing, thru my step-by- step instructions, building the Mozenda Project, a program that allowed us to search 1 Entity Name in all 50 States, Alternative Asset Sites and some International Territories, simultaneously.
Oversaw a 3-7 person Research, Analysis & Quality Control Team. Helped Claims verify entity names & locations for claims belonging to our clients, if their was a discrepancy.
In 2.5 years at FRS UP, we opened 80+ Fortune 5000 Accounts and had 108 Contracts pending with prospects.
85% of our accounts or prospects did $100,000,000+ in Annual Sales. Found, verified & filed over $100 Million worth of claims on those clients behalf.
The 108 Contracts Pending have a combined $239,000,000 in Recoverable Unclaimed Property Claims.
In 2021, we recovered already, and/or the States have already approved claims (but hasn't paid out yet) approximately $25,000,000 worth of claims for our clients.
For 2022, we were on pace to file and/or recover approximately
$75,000,000 worth of claims for our clients.
Finding, claiming, and Recovering Unclaimed Property for Corporate Clients for 12+ years, in all 50 States and numerous International areas as well. I am extremely proficient at: not only finding the claims that 50% of others would find as well, but in specifically finding and recovering the claims that only 25%(or less) of Unclaimed Property Experts would find.

Jan 2010 - May 2019
Chasing 28 LLC, Nanuet, NY & Bradenton, FL
Unclaimed Funds Locator for Professional Athletes, Doctors Offices & Small Businesses
In conjunction with a company that represents Professional Athletes, called "For the Love of The Game" (Bradenton, FL), I located Unclaimed Property for professional athletes (mostly Major League baseball players) and helped them file, claim and recover Unclaimed Property & Funds that was theirs, that was being held in some or all 50 States and Canada's Unclaimed Funds Departments. All of these claims were for individuals. In 2015, I started to locate & find claims for small business as well as doctors offices. Claiming for businesses is completely different than claiming for individuals and this led me to only claiming for businesses, soon after. Executive Vice President Of Sales &

Vice President of Sales & MarketingVice President of Sales & Marketing Supervised 75+ employees, in what was the precursor to Amazon.com. Ultimately taking the company public with a $15,000,000 IPO in 1990-91. Unfortunately my partners and I came up with a great concept (selling anything
& everything on one website), we just had some of the details backwards. Where Amazon sells items at a discount and delivers to your door, we incorrectly assumed customers would be willing to pay a premium to have all their shopping needs on 1 website.
A truly brilliant Idea that was missing 1 very key tweak, offering cheaper prices when buying online.
