Whereas, in addition, he has over twenty years of military aviation service, and he retired from the United States Army in 1987 with the rank of CW4; and

Whereas, during his service as the commission's interim director, he developed and implemented the agency's policy and procedures manual, established a purchasing division to utilize better the agency's financial resources, and revamped the computerized accounting system for the fuel farm; and

Whereas, during this time he also developed and implemented new procedures for the commission's accounting division which enhanced the division's efficiency and performance, implemented new inventory procedures which enabled the agency to account for more than sixteen hundred inventoried items with an exceptionally high accuracy rate, and worked diligently to foster improved relations with other state agencies and the General Assembly; and

Whereas, he is a talented individual and an accomplished administrator who labored with dedication and commitment in the commission's top position; and
