predominately a domestic wood furniture manufacturer to a design, sourcing and marketing company with an emphasis on imported wood and upholstered furniture products. As part of this transition, he has guided the Company in adding managers having
specific skills and experience in importing, logistics and supply chain management. Additionally, he redeployed certain executives and managers formerly focused on manufacturing to address these new areas. </FONT></P> <P
