<div style="line-height: 120%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: 13pt;">I have
been in the residential and commercial design build industry since my
discharge from the United States Navy in 1974. Over the years, I have
designed and engineered nothing but highly artistic, one of a kind
projects for truly creative, forward thinking and environmentally
conscious people. With a historical emphasis on alternative
energy/energy efficient, sustainability based urban as well as rural
architecture and with an extraordinary degree of high green
industrial functionality built into the architectural footprint of
these projects, in so many ways we, within our collective pursuit of
organic design excellence, where as well, getting involved with a
national green energy movement that back then was considered to be
remarkably odd and hopelessly abstract both in terms of economic
common sense as well as future industrial as well as financial
sustainability.</span></span></div>
<br />
<br />
<br />
<div style="line-height: 120%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: 13pt;">Along with
the above, is the expertise I have gained from working simultaneously
in a broad host of industries pertaining specifically to both the
historic American building trades as well as the emerging trades of a
host of alternative energy based technology companies including the
following:</span></span></div>
<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
<div style="line-height: 120%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: 13pt;">I have a
very strong background in architectural design, landscape design,
interior design, furniture design, lighting design, structural,
mechanical and hydraulic engineering as well as overall whole
lifestyle design as such design pertains to the physical needs and
healthy environmental insight of my client base. In addition I have
an equally strong background in Commercial Graphic Art, Print and
Audio Advertising, Web Development and Advertising, Point of Purchase
Display Advertising and Market Research/Development for locally
oriented small businesses as well as national corporate retail,
manufacturing and service sector entities in a wide ranging spectrum
of industrial categories. </span></span>

<br />
<br />
<br />
<div style="line-height: 120%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: 13pt;">As such,
my interest now in working with either a private design planning
firm, municipal planning department, Neighborhood/Residential
Construction Development Corporation (which I am very well capable of
laying the structural foundation for the establishment of), or, in an
investment banking firm environment as a “structural industrial
analyst”, or simply networking with folks who are actively engaged
in the pursuit of all of the above, is paramount.</span></span></div>

EXPERIENCE</b></span></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 120%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: black;">For the most part, I have been in
a hardware store just about every day of my life for more than four
decades. As it is the place to go for every imaginable household
need, it is as well, the place to go for straight forward, common
sense, problem solving advice as well as broad exposure to a vast
array of manufacturing industries all of which today are clearly
morphing into quite dynamic, green based manufacturing, retail and
service sector corporate entities. The dynamic nature of the
evolution of hardware store products today, clearly suggest that
large home supply chains that have taken over the market in the past
thirty years are going to be experiencing a major industrial
metamorphosis which will essentially serve to diversify this economic
sector significantly within the next 20 years. As such, when reading
the below information, be keenly aware of the fact that my depth of
knowledge on the historical line of products that have been sold in
hardware store settings equals my knowledge of the new technologies
that will emerge to either fit into the historic hardware store model
or diversify to such an extent that entirely new home product
manufacturing, retail, distribution and maintenance models will
clearly be emerging most definitely within the context of what a
neighborhood hardware store should have on hand to meet the evolving
needs of the technologically diverse green energy market. </span>

<div style="line-height: 120%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: 13pt;">I have
worked with an enormous variety of paint brands but primarily
Benjamin Moore and Pratt and Lambert. The same with stains and
varnishes. The same with specialty wall finishes, paint finishes and
textures as well as wallpapers. Epoxy paints, floor paints,
waterborne enamels, oil paints and latex, all of these products and
an endless array of products, tools and equipment utilized in the
residential, commercial and industrial paint industry all occupy my
knowledge base. In addition, I have a good working knowledge of floor
coverings ranging from vinyls, stone, wood, laminates and carpets as
well as the products and equipment required to both install and
maintain such products. Every single product in each of these
industrial paint categories are undergoing a substantial green
environmental overhaul. As such, the painting industry on all levels
is doing the same, and to the point where really very few people
actually understand the dynamics associated with these paint
products, the market for educational marketing to both the
tradesperson and the consumer matches the need for the industry
itself to in fact produce such multifaceted marketing. </span></span>

<br />
<br />
<br />
<div style="line-height: 120%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: black;">Is there such a thing as a
perfect, neighborhood based, green economic development plan?</span></div>
<br />
<span style="line-height: 120%;">I’m fairly certain there is and
I'm equally certain putting the plan together requires the work of a
rather dynamic team of people with truly diverse backgrounds and well
disciplined, multidimensional approaches to creative, in the box,
and, out of the box problem solving.</span><br />
<br />
<br />

<div style="line-height: 120%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: black;">I bring to the table the

<span style="color: black;">Extensive knowledge of advanced
building codes as such pertain to the establishment of a most
comprehensive and broad based municipal code enforcement/educational
model for the successful mixed, alternative energy based
retrofitting of all buildings in any given residential, commercial
office, retail or light industrial neighborhood based setting.</span></div>
</li>
</ul>

<span style="color: black;">The ability to understand and
clearly redefine in quite intricate detail the existing functions of
all public works departments including parks and recreation, streets
and sanitation, energy and recycling, water and sewer, municipal
building maintenance, fire and rescue as such functions are upgraded
to interact with modern zoning, planning, mixed energy use
transportation as well as building code enforcement initiatives. </span>

<span style="color: black;">The ability to future plan for
all above mentioned departments from both a regulatory and funding
perspective as well as from the perspective of personnel team
management as such management is successfully directed toward a
broad, community economic development based consensus building
mindset.</span></div>
</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; line-height: 120%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: black;">The ability to look articulately
at dying or dead neighborhood based business development models,
restructure them to accommodate specific growth strategies in
targeted energy, construction, light manufacturing, retail and
service based business sectors and develop both marketing and
advertising strategies that draw all associated client bases into
that environmentally refocused business corridor model.</span></div>
</li>
</ul>

<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: small;"><b>Moved
to Ottawa, Illinois</b></span></span><span style="color: black;">
</span><span style="color: black;">to
study the geographically based environmental weather conditions as
those conditions affected the long term respiratory health of those
who live in this low lying Illinois River Valley region. This
research was focused on both indoor and outdoor air quality. It was
as well focused on the effects such weather conditions have played on
the overall deterioration of the aging architectural housing stock
found within the Illinois River Valley. </span>
</div>
<br />
<span style="line-height: 120%;">Whereas a distinct set of
environmental conditions were causing the long term deterioration of
the housing stock in either Chicago by the lakefront or Oak Park
located some fifteen or so miles from that lakefront on a rather
distinct geographical bluff, in the low lying river valley bounding
the Illinois River an entirely different set of environmental
conditions were and are continuing to cause an entirely different set
of structural problems on the homes in this region.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="line-height: 120%;">As these rural LaSalle County
geographical conditions are reflected in a tremendous increase in
human based upper respiratory conditions due in part to the fact that
tremendously low barometric pressures combined with extremely high
ground and air moisture content virtually assure the existence of
these respiratory conditions, the same weather conditions have led to
excessive structural decay of the housing stock due to excessive mold
and moisture damage to both foundations and framing members.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="line-height: 120%;">What is most crucial to understand
here is that while Oak Park, Illinois is within one
geographical/climate zone and Ottawa, Illinois is in another, the
condition of the architecture within these two regions is more or
less in the same severe state of structural deterioration. As both of
these communities are essential made up of a rather significant
amount of rather beautiful and historic American examples of stick
built housing with an average age of some 80 years, the amount and
scope of structural decay of this housing stock is decidedly
different between these two towns.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="line-height: 120%;">In Ottawa, Illinois the homes are
being eaten away by excessive moisture and mold that is clearly
lending itself to the marked increase in respiratory ailments found
in this region of Illinois, the subsequent market devaluation of home
prices, much higher costs of building renovation, and, of course, the
subsequent unwillingness of potential new industries to move into
this area as well as the lack of funding for any type of 21st century
community based architectural and engineering as well as building
trades job training that would ultimately serve to rectify these
issues. On the other hand, the housing stock in Oak Park, Illinois,
the homes are more or less being destroyed by dry rotting and the
subsequent infiltration of a host of wood eating insects. As the
reason for this deterioration is essentially linked to a combination
of strong northerly winds, the unstable soil base beneath these
structures as well as the fact that there is significantly more solar
as well as ultraviolet exposure to these homes, the cost of true
retrofitting of these homes is again well beyond the financial
capacity of either the homeowner or mortgage company to ever even
remotely be able to afford. Adding to this particular problem in Oak
Park is the fact that the community is landlocked with virtually no
more room for real estate based economic expansion and both the
commercial and industrial districts found in and around this
community are the same age as the residential structures and equally
landlocked.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="line-height: 120%;">My research simply demonstrates a
rather comprehensive, multi-tiered regulatory, but, rather easily
executed set of economic communication dynamics that engage all
players in the whole 21st century neighborhood redevelopment process.
