SUMMARY
I have been involved in many different types of businesses over the years. I have always proven myself to be a producer and someone who tries to improve the image of the company I am working for. In my last position with MDS Communications I was contracted to The Heritage Foundation. They are a conservative thinktank in Washington DC. During my time representing them I earned six commendations for performance and always strived to show them in the best light. I can do the same for your organization. Prior to that I was either the owner or part owner for 3 different PEO’s
(Professional Employer Organizations). The largest one was Southwest Resources where we grew the business to over
$50,000,000 prior to selling it in 2009. While I was there, however, I also owned a small trucking company and I raced professionally off-road for Ford, BF Goodrich, and Best Western. Prior that I worked for Varian Ultrasound, inventors of the first real-time ultrasound machines. I was a senior purchasing agent and purchased everything from electronic components to cabinetry. Prior to that I worked for Marquardt Engineering in aerospace development as a purchasing agent. I have had a varied background including being an Army veteran in active service in SE Asia as well as in the Utah National Guard for 7 years. I was in the Army Security Agency and was primarily concerned with communications. WORK EXPERIENCE
