His company was one of the first Australian companies to achieve ISO 9002 certification and to implement an “Enterprise Bargaining Agreement” which was recognized by the Australian Labor Court as a model agreement for labor relations.

Upon his return to the U.S. he became Program Executive/General Manager for the Special Operations Forces, at Boeing’s Aerospace Support Center in Fort Walton Beach, Florida. This business unit was a distressed business unit with declining revenues of $60m and very poor customer relations. Over the next seven years he built the business into a $350m business with a backlog of over $500m. He reversed customer satisfaction levels from extremely negative to favored contractor status and changed the culture of the business and workforce from very negative levels to a world class quality standard with employee satisfaction indices among the best in the industry.
