  Presidential Limousine

  May 1978 - Nov 1990

  Founder

  Grew the company, starting with a classic limo, a 1966 formal Cadillac Limousine to a 24 Vehicle Fleet in under 3.5 years, with no borrowed cash or no investment partners. Within 5 years of opening the company our Client List of Corporations, Hotels & thought & financial leaders within the San Diego Area set the standard for the industry. Our "LIST" was so impressive, multiple National Limo Service Providers made very enticing offers to purchase Presidential Limousine. All to no avail. Presidential is a thriving business today, 34 years later. Show less

  5 years as a Blue Badge & 3 as a contractor.Beginning: I answered a general, catch-all support phone line. I had to learn about dozens of technologies & hundreds of products, & how they all were or were not inter-related, then find the right place to place that caller to resolve his or her issue, in a short period of time, with a smile on the Customer's Voice being the end result.Then came the fun stuff! Learning & using our Developer Product Suite to build applications so that when providing support to Developers around the globe, my level of interaction exceeded everyone's expectations.To exceed our Customer's expectations we developed what was, at that time, cutting edge cool tools! Like the Support & Sales Knowledge Base, Forums for specific products & issues, as well as 24X7 IM or email solution support.This gig taught me more than I could ever learn anywhere else & grew a passion for technology that burns just as bright today!

We have added dozens of Barn Owl Colonies, Kestrels & Barred Owls. None are endangered but are extremely adept at reducing rodent populations. We locate Owls & Kestrels in close proximity due to Owls hunting at night & Kestrels hunting during the daylight, therefore adding greater pressure to the rodent population, creating great satisfaction among our Host/Partner Farmer. The happier the Farmer, the greater number of species we are able to introduce into thousands upon thousands of acres.This program has it's greatest success in getting the Farmers to completely eliminate the use of Rodent Poison & to view Poisons in general as a non-solution.We have begun Small House Construction on small plots of land. Housing constructed from salvaged Barns, Sheds, Stables & Homes. The small houses are from 200 sq. ft. to no more than 500 sq. ft. with a half acre for develop a sustainable footprint, energy being Solar, Wind & Wood.

  Red River Trust

  Feb 2008 - Nov 2015

  Director

  Eradicate dependence upon hand-outs/donations by forging revenue generating partnerships in areas that align with Watershed Improvement & Learning, such as the Amish Farmer's Market, which we sponsor & manage for the Amish Community, as a revenue source.Example: 1. Mobile Kitchens using Meats, Produce, Fruits & Grains grown in the fields adjacent to the River, truly bringing the Farm Bounty to the Consumer, bite by bite.2. Salvage/Recycle Barns, Sheds, Cabins & a few very old homes, creating a source of Materials to build small, riverside accommodations available for a fee to Lovers, seekers of Nature, Hunters & those needing Solitude. 3. Donated Mobile Homes: a blight on the countryside, 100s sitting abandoned, unused, with materials & skills, we have proven they an become 1st class homes, that are GREEN source of income!!!4. 5,000 acre Hunting Preserve: Members Only, managed for a profit as a subsidiary, as all of the above.And about a dozen more, including a River Baptismal Center, adjacent to the oldest Church in the region! We do from 5 people to 500. It seems that a good old country tent revival with 4 to 5 Gospel Groups, on stage, one after the other, brings in 5,000 to 8,000 paying guests. Show less
