Operations Manager for Petra International, LLC – Richard has been an integral of the executive team that has taken a concept through patent acquisition, R & D, production modeling and first round funding for this new and innovative venture.  Petra International is prepared to launch their process into a $640 Billion a year paper product market.  (2012 - Present)

 

Richard spent 15 years working as an independent advisor/consultant to the medical trade.  During this period Richard is responsible for guiding numerous doctors, hospitals, and imaging centers into new technology related to MRI, CT, PET, Nuclear Medicine and X-Ray equipment.  Richard was key in planning, designing, and acquiring turnkey mobile systems and free standing centers.  (1999 - 2013)

 

As a real estate developer Richard secured prime properties where he planned, platted and performed all horizontal construction and installation of infrastructure systems that prepared subdivisions for sales and vertical builds.  (1985 – 2001)

 

Richard performed flawlessly under a US Government contract as owner/operator of a truck and freighting service.  During this time it was necessary for Richard to meet strict government criteria and perform on time.  Richard was responsible to insure safe transportation of explosives, weapons, nuclear warheads, heat seeking missiles and lasers utilized on the F-16.  In order to accomplish these tasks Richard and his company had to undergo background checks to secure and maintain Top Secret Clearance.  Richard maintained the contract and security status for eight years.

 

In Richard’s younger years he learned his entrepreneurial skills by acquiring and successfully operating a farm where for five years he produced annually 1200 acres of soybeans and maintained 200 beef cattle.  This experience has looped around to his current position with Petra International, LLC where it has been found that a collateral product of the paper treatment process can be used as a high protein feed for cattle.
