"We actively recruited Dr. Heidt because he has the background, expertise, practical savvy, attitude and energy to lead the charge in building the equivalent of a 'Seal Team Six' that will create and deliver the value promised to our customers and shareholders," said Ramon Martinez, Company President, and a retired U.S. Air Force Lieutenant Colonel.  Colonel Martinez added, "As one of the nation's premier experts in developing superior sales systems, mass marketing media programs, and recruiting, training and leading top-sales closing teams, Dr. Heidt brings to the Company over 35 years of hands-on, front line, technical, operational, and artistic core competency.  Dr. Heidt is a nationally-recognized thought leader in designing innovative, resilient sales and marketing methods that have historically resulted in generating hundreds of thousands of new customers as well as hundreds of millions of cash-flow profits for the major industry iconic clients he has served with distinction."
